Agreed. Afghanistan was an asymmetric war, which is to say asymmetrically in favor of the Taliban. If Afghan civilians refuse to cooperate with the Americans, not much happens. If they refuse to cooperate with the Taliban, they and their families may get tortured/killed.

You talking about their war in Afghanistan or our war in Afghanistan? ;)
I saw in a documentary where Afghans didn’t realize they were being invaded by a different world power than in the 80s.
Nevertheless, the taliban didn’t exactly exist while the Russians were there, and the Mujahideen pushed them back all the same.
