Afghanistan itself is not a problem. Every idiot who has a will to win may win a war there.

The problem is at some point invader understands both these land and people doesn’t worth efforts to even hold a foot there.

Afghan society is a snake pit and it was like that for all known history. You don’t have to point a gun at them or carpet bomb them to make them hate you.

Share meal with them or treat their wounds or build them home and they’ll always find you did something in an insulting manner in process to find excuse for hating and killing you.
