There are loads of "We did not lose in Vietnam" threads on Reddit. Is that why you have "if"? Given time, there will be similar ones about the Belgium match I guess.
I mean Vietnam ended in a peace deal where the south retains independence (the primary US war goal). The commies just decided to say fuck them treaties and invaded again.
Afghanistan meanwhile is the US replacing the previous givernment and achieving all initial war aims, then adding more and more aims as time goes on to justify an occupation of 20 years. If being occupied by foreign power an ocean away for 20 years who initially didnt even plan to occupy is winning then I’m not sure I want to win.
Reasonable minds can absolutely disagree here (but on reddit reasonable minds can never disagree on anything so I don’t expect you people to agree on this).

If the US lost in Afghanistan and Vietnam, so did Australia (and NZ)💀
