Hilarious you mention I have no real understanding. And you do? You been a pilot your entire career and that somehow makes you smarter and more experienced in geopolitical affairs?Afghanistan wasn’t “lost”, we left. There was no military defeat, we just left.
ISIS never defeated the US, we just left, created a power vacuum, which they filled, which we then crushed, leaving most of them to occupy prisons and IDP camps in Syria.
Viet-Nam wasn’t a war we lost as a military, it was a war the politicians didn’t have the guts to fight in an unlimited fashion, and which the media/societal elite abandoned because they couldn’t separate the footage from Tet from the military success we had through Tet.
Every one of your examples is wrong. If you want to find the culprit, look to the media and the politicians trying to take advantage of the pictures they were delivering, with no regard to the reality on the ground.
Once again, you show how shallow your understanding of the real world is…adults are talking @nodropinufaka you’re out of your element…

you’re understanding and response is the exact verbatim response from almost all senior military officers.
“We didn’t lose…it was (insert excuse here)…”
“we left. We weren’t defeated”
If your country loses the political will to continue and leaves. That’s losing.
