How was the conflict in Afghanistan different from other conflicts in the region for the united states? All I can think of is that it was the starting point of the war on terrorism, it was costly to move troops into, and it is still ongoing. Can someone please help?

It's a bit early to really assess the war in Afghanistan, as history, since it's still going on. The biggest difference I can see is the rationale for engaging in the first place. The US had been attacked on 9/11/2001 by terrorists supposedly allied with Al Qaeda, which was believed to be based in Afghanistan at that time. So, the war was launched against that non-state group, not the government of Afghanistan. The war in Iraq was against the government of that nation. Our more limited (but real) involvement in Syria has been to assist those attempting to unseat the ruling government of Syria. We did not try to overthrow the government of Afghanistan, just influence it.

I just want to say one thing, why is there someone named FREE V-BUCKS??
ther just is -_-
I don't have the context of the discussion you were having, but it's not uncommon for people to use usernames or aliases based on popular culture, such as video games or TV shows. "Free V-Bucks" is a term used in the popular game Fortnite, so it's possible that someone picked that name because they enjoy playing Fortnite.
