    You can certainly argue the afghani's won against both the russians and the united states tactically, that being said you wouldn't argue that afghanistan is doing better than russia or the united states as a consequence of "winning" said wars.

  I think you may have misinterpreted this (subtle) comment. They likely meant to imply that the US lost the war (context: in the US, “Afghanistan” and “Vietnam” are essentially synonymous with the wars in those countries, sadly).

  "Afghanistan hasn't glorified any wars" ? They glorify their wars, particularly suicide bombers, often children, often coerced into the act, who helped them to victory. Among other things.
