- dh2022 3mo agoUS did not occupy the country- they occupied the big cities and a built a huge airbase. Countryside was in Taliban hands for the most part. US never closed the border with Pakistani - and the talibans retreated in Paki when under attack and then went back in Afghanistan when things calmed down. In Afghanistan US won as much as it won in Vietnam.
