The biggest thing in that regard is how long the general public is willing to tolerate the conflict. Compare the resilience of the Taliban to the western nations. Culturally, we just don’t accept lengthy wars with long casualty lists. We lost the stomach for it, or tolerance, generally speaking. Even most republicans on Twitter have no stomach for a lengthy intervention.The only reason they can’t is because they haven’t been as brutal as they could be. If they didn’t care about what people thought, which would happen in all out war, then they wouldn’t be as careful or worried about civilians.
The rules of engagement and standards are far more stricter for western forces, but they have still killed plenty of civilians. Not as much as many of their enemies though.
