In 2009 I heard about KC on the radio and checked it out. I was only 14 and dared only to lurk. One of the first memes that made an impression on me was pic rel. It is an old Nazi propaganda postcard or something. The original says "front city frankfurt still stands". Someone shopped it about to make it say the same about Kundus in Afghanistan. For almost half my life the German army held that city. Now it has finally fallen to the Taliban.
Truly a historic moment, at least for me personally.

Hello Altschuchtel. Do you remember Giraffe im Erdbeerenauto?

>no war can be won by defense alone
 
If so, how do you win an insurgency type of war? After the initial destruction of a weaker country's armed forces you'd need to occupy the land, otherwise the early victories would be for naught. Yet when you do that, you turn to defending instead of attacking, thus giving momentum to an insurgency.
 
Is the only feasible strategy to rely on local infighting / creating loyalists out of locals, while your armed forces would only strike from afar? Worked with Yugoslavia.

They weren't really fighting a war in Afghanistan. There was no goal to accomplish except holding up a status quo that a couple of people profited from financially.
