The reason we shouldn’t be involved is that people in Afghanistan generally seem to have chosen this path. We don’t have any great evidence that a majority of people there disagree with this policy. It’s nuts by our standards, but we do things that are nuts be our standards. We have to figure out how to get along.

The situation in Ukraine is different because one country is invading another country in a way that’s unpopular and nuts, because the invading country is threatening to nuke us.

Ugh, are you 10?

Are you?

That would require "fighting spirit", "grit", or "heart"... clearly the Afghan forces lack this. Therefore, before engaging in such an endeavor I suggest they watch a lot of footage of what Ukrainians are doing to the Russians...that's what fighting spirit looks like.

The “Afghan forces” are the Taliban now. For 20 years, the Taliban fought the US, NATO, and their own fellow countrymen in order to retake power from American proxies. GIRoA and its forces were wholly American supported, trained, equipped, and funded. And no longer exist.
Perhaps the Ukrainians are following the Taliban’s playbook for victory.
