In Afghanistan, when you need electricity, you ship in generators and fuel from the USA. When you need bridges and roads, you ship in materials and engineers from the USA. Someone gets shot, you medivac them back to the USA and send their replacement who just finished training to replace him. You have all the resources and supply chains to keep the war machine humming along, no problem. When the war is home, though, where do you ship stuff in from? The bridges are blown. The power is out. The trucks have no gas. The machine stops.
