Why did every major power fail to invade Afghanistan?

Mostly the soviets and americans had moral restrictions

Britain made them a protectorate but they were poor and miserable so it was not worth it

Macedonians, mongols, turks just massacred them

The myth of afghan invincibility is just brown and libtard lore

They didn't. Afghanistan is so low value that empires looking to reduce costs or leaders looking to redirect military spending to somewhere useful pulled out to pet the afghans fight it out themselves for who gets to fuck the village goat this week instead of having civilized soldiers settle that for them.
