Well as I said we lack the political will to spend the decades that a counter insurgency requires(assuming that you do in the end "win") so why get involved in this kind of warfare in the first place?
If a nation lacks the will to commit to total warfare then they should not get involved a conflict in the first place.
Before you say anything you should know that I did spend time in Afghanistan and have two brothers that served in Iraq and Afghanistan as combat troops and officers
so I do have a direct opinion from those who fight.
