    You don’t understand what happened in Vietnam or Afghanistan. At all.

    If you think those guys truly defeated the US and that you with your rifle are going to do the same… I don’t even know if there’s is a point explaining it.

      I would agree the US wasn’t “defeated” in the normal sense. They were ungovernable. They wear down traditional forces over a long time, and you never give them a target they can easily track.
