That's why the Afghan army collapsed so quickly - there was no will to
fight. America's conduct of the war was determined by Afghanistan's
conduct of the war, and that was determined by Afghanistan's
generational era. If Afghanistan had been in a Crisis era,
then things could have been very different.
What an Anti-american ideologue you are: the reason the 2001 war ended so quickly is because the overwhelmingly superiority of US air power meant that any afghan fighter who poked his head up was usually swiftly taken out by air strikes. The vast Majority of them as a result did not want to commit suicide and promptly switched sides. The true fanatics fought to the bitter end and died at places like Tora Bora or fled into Pakistan or the deep mountains like OBL himself and Zawahiri. You consistently refuse to acknowledge US military superiority. There is a reason the insurgents of Iraq preferred to attrit US forces with IEDs rather than risk open battle, because they would have been slaughtered in any open battle (see fallujah). The IED strategy only had some success due to the incompetent strategy implemented in Iraq courtesy of the boomers. Also the US military currently is superior to both the Russian Military and the Chinese Military. And that is NOT courtesy of the boomers, in fact its in spite of them because boomers have had less influence on the military than in the civilian arena. If 4T theory has any veracity the Boomer globalists/Kaganites/Neocons will not get their way, and US society would resemble what trump what speaking about during the campaign. The notion of boomers having complete power, succeeding in maintaining that complete power, then sacrificing Gen-X, Gen-Y and Gen-Z as cannon fodder and then handing power directly to the future new artists does not match 4T theory, in fact it directly contradicts it. This did not happen during the 1914-1953 period of the last 3T/4T/early 1T.
