The us involvement in Afghanistan was truly one of the biggest blunders in a century and it didn’t have to be. It wasn’t just one president but a 20 year failure in state building, that had been run with profit in mind. The us used to be able to do this in Japan and Korea(only the South though). I believe it was the corruption and the contractors that set up such a terrible state.

Given the massacres and decades of terror under the dictatorship that were required to create modern South Korea, I wouldn’t hold it up as a success.
