Motivated irregular fighting forces fight for purpose... usually their lands and families. While the 'air power' is fighting for ego and resource gain. The two are not in the same league.

No, it's not. The purpose of war is not to kill people but to accomplish a country's geostrategic and political goals ZOG spent thousands of lives and billions of dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. This is a massive L

@TrevorGoodchild@poa.st @Bad_Banner@poa.st @Glassjaw@poa.st @Obfuskation@poa.st Plus in the Afghanistan situation the US casaulties weren't higher because the Coalition mostly relied on the "Afghan" army of the collaborationist regime they installed to do most of the fighting. If you add Coalition casaulties to local collaborationist casaulties, they're a lot higher than Taliban ones. This is without getting into the proven-to-be inflated insurgent-killing reports and the fact that the US is most likely hiding some of it's losses to maintain an image of invincibility.

War isn't an FPS, it's politics by another means. Political goals drive strategy, strategy drives operations, and operations drives tactics. The US consistently loses because it's political goals constantly shift, it traded strategy for PR and wishful thinking, and consequently has no operational art. In Afghanistan it spent a generation, and trillions of dollars, to lose to a group that while it had mostly small arms, it had clear political and strategic goals, and increasingly well developed operations.
