That itself is BS. Which empires exactly were killed by their Afghan adventures? The Brits tamed AFG quite easily. Alexander lost in India

The Durand Line held forever. And the Sikh Empire took over a lot of AFG before it was toppled by internal strife and the Brits.

I'm not in the comedy business! Just dispelling bullshit myths about 'untamable' 'graveyard of empires' crap.
