If US forces are stalemated, then enemy forces are as well.

Seems I read a year or two ago I the Taliban took one helluva trimming losing the manpower equivalent of two brigades in just a few months; losses in much larger armies would be seen as crippling.

Why do our forces have kill ratios in the factors and yet we are at a stalemate?

Also, the Taliban just won a strategic victory by getting our forces to reduce airstrikes because of "civilian" casualties.
