I was near the Afghan-Pakistan border while CIA was busy using UN offices as a front. The high level Afghans allies loathed themselves for being American mercenaries. I told them that they were patriots getting help to free their country. One them snapped back, "we take money from Americans to kill their enemies. This is what mercs do." One of CIA guys asked an Afghan UN interpreter, "so what are the Russians doing in Afghanistan?" to which she replied, "the same things Americans did in Vietnam."

Right there was everything that you needed to know about how it would end without long term planning. These were the people who were helping the US. How do think those who were opposing the US felt?

So long as there is no principled way to address the foreign policy and provide consistency over a 20+ years timeframe, the US will be marred in forever wars.
