I watched about half, several thoughts: I am a combat vet, and I served when America had a stronger better lead military, we lost to stone age tribesmen. Veterans already know the weaknesses of the equipment, which parts are critical and how weather terrain and other factors limit them. The Taliban didn't have those advantages, or more firearms than every standing Army combined. The only thing really lacking on both sides would be leadership. We could fight a short war right now. A longer more drawn-out guerrilla style war is also possible. A force on force traditional style conflict is not at least until states joined in with all their equipment. That would change as other nations offered to help, no matter which side they decided to help they would need our own civilians, just as we did. We know the people, the area and already have support networks established, be they friends, family or even drug gangs, people will group up, we are pack animals. As more nations sent in troops, equipment and supplies we could fight a real ground war that lasts for years. The issue of who would fight would be answered quickly, on average only 2-3% of the population fights, more will support the different sides and again other nations would probably join. So we are left with 2-3% of 380 million, the American military we have now would lose, unless it had help, even then it would be years before either side gained a real advantage.
