Yet the US struggled in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Asked and already answered.
Vietnam was a professional military, backed by China, bolstered by guerrillas.
Afghanistan was not defending the nation. They were able to dig into the terrain and had to be rooted out because the target was terrorists...not the nation.
Iraq fell in about 100 hours when the target was the nation (and they were defended by a large professional military. It only bogged down when the mission changed to nation building. Had we decided to destroy their national capabilities and then leave or had we decided to lay waste and exterminate everyone, it would have been over quickly.
