    They really thought it was going to be another Afghanistan -which they ultimately lost-, or Iraq -also effectively lost despite the successful government change-.

      I don’t think the US has won a war since WWII? Korea is technically still a stalemate, they achieved no objectives in Vietnam, and been basically eating differing amounts of shit in West Asia since 1990.
