It's often stated that no empire has had success in Afganistan...
That's not entirely true, Ghengis Khan did succeed.
I'm sure he'd probably laugh at our counter insurgency strategy.
what he did, and what we are trying to do, are 2 separate things.....
he wanted to conquer...and he did...by any means necessary..
we are there as a show of force...with no intention to conquer..and shooting when shot upon......
so he was fighting a war....we are just spending money..
