    Wait, you mean that invading other countries & provoking nationalist resistance movements leads to a different type of military experience than helping a nationalist resistance movement fend off an invasion? Hard to believe.pic.twitter.com/6db8t4hpj9

        How is a lay-observer supposed to discern that the US military is being “super-competent and capable”, anyhow? The US is not directly involved in the war theatre, much of US involvement is background & secretive, and the war has only gone on so far a bit more than 60 days

        Exactly. I have no idea if they’re transporting this equipment competently. How would I?

        People keep making a point that it is “confusing” or “striking” how much more successful the US-trained/supported Ukrainians are being than the US-trained/supported ANSF, forgetting that we were actually the Russians in the Afghanistan scenario.

        And instead we’re getting a lot of vaguely racist claims about the superior moral fiber of the Ukrainian people compared to the Afghan people.

        Considering we have been thinking about getting military supplies into Europe quickly sine 1941 I would hope our military has this figured out

        Ok but the US military looked super competent 45 days into the invasion of Iraq too
