The Taliban claimed that the raid was in response to the film, Innocence of Muslims, and have also stated that Prince Harry, who was stationed at the base at the time, was the target of the attack.[2] To replace the aircraft lost in the attack, the USMC deployed 14 Harriers to Afghanistan 36 hours after the raid.[3]
Yet another instance of thirdies claiming glorious victory after being wiped out almost to a man.

The whole thing was a money laundering operation for the MIC, if you haven't figured this by now, there is no hope for you. It pains me to say it, but the people who went and fought and some even died there were either stupid or were simply adrenaline junkies with nothing better to do.

the usual way they got "liberated" from occupation is when the next wave of occupiers show up. Afghans didn't free themselves until the mid 1700s, meaning 2000 years of continuous occupation beginning with Alexander. They are not tenacious and determined, they are weaklings

There was no such thing as "Afghans" then.
When people say "Afghanistan is the graveyard of Empires," they typically mean AFGHANISTAN, not the general territory that would eventually become Afghanistan. For example when people talk about European supremacy, they typically aren't referring to gauls and celts living in mud huts chucking spears.
The fact you have to go that far back to where there was no Afghanistan shows the truth in the saying.

It was Afghanistan even back then. This is a pre-islamic persian designation for the region. And the Pashtun people were already there when the Greeks conquered it, and through that 2000 years of occupation. You're just a 40iq burgerfat that thinks the 1700s was a long time ago.

This is what true decentralization gets you. Foreign governments can't just declare war, swoop in, insert a puppet as PM, and call it a day, because all these tiny tribes/interest groups will still fight and commit "terrorist" (freedom-fighting) acts to expel the invaders. Imagine trying to conquer Mountain Texas, but instead of productive oil refineries, every single Texan is a subsistence farmer with a long rifle. It doesn't matter if you have a 20/1 K/D ratio. It doesn't matter if you put the entire country under martial law because you need boots on the ground to enforce it. It doesn't even matter if you improve the quality of life in the country, because hardened Islamists and tribal leaders will simply strip that wealth away for further internecine warfare.

I dunno, it's been a failed state since day one, never have they had a stable government. It's a miracle the whole thing hasn't Balkanized by now with all the ethno separatist movements and religious fanatics bombing schools and local businesses because their government isn't 'Islamic enough'. Not to mention China has most certainly humored the idea of just wiping out the local population so they can strip mine the place for lithium and cobalt.

Yup, I figured Pakistan would have collapsed by now but they exceeded my expectations in prolonging the inevitable.

Untrue, they've done it to 'themselves' multiple times. For instance there were still large numbers of unconverted pagans in Afghanistan in the 1800s, until they were forcibly Islamized.

Even they spend centuries fighting among themselves trying to change eachother.

More like China gave the Taliban NOD's and the US never actually had any real plan in Afghanistan to begin with beyond hope their puppet government doesn't collapse like a house of cards and using the Afghan terrain as a sandbox to test new weapons.

That and diverting resources into that country when wars of actual global importance were brewing back then basically forced the Americans out for the sake of not getting bogged down in multiple fronts. Clearly Russians didn't get the memo hence why they're fucking around in Mali and I guess just assumed the French left because they're pussies.
