no really, how?
How the fuck did a bunch of rice farmers beat us?
Obama remember
A refusal of the US to commit to the war coupled with communist subversion on the home front.
Also our officer pool was greatly weakened post ww2 due to the new immense power they controlled.
Americans put on kid gloves to win "hearts and minds".
They had more stomache for the fight, were defending their homes, and were willing to embrace Total War.
Conversely we were drafting people and our society was fragmented by muh civil rights and femanism / hippies.
Victory in war belongs to he who wants it the most, and who will fight or die to seize it.
Afghanistan is the same in many ways.

Pointy sticks in holes?
The American army is total fucking shit. Completely mismanaged and poorly run.
The best military culture was achieved by the Prussians, which is head and shoulders above anything that exists today. Look at the German vs. American kill/death ratio in WW2, it's abominable. They made the Americans look like a third world army.
This idea of shouting at your troops and breaking them down with drill instructors is actually NOT how the Prussians or the real militaries of Europe would do things. This is a backward concept from earlier generation warfare that completely fails in practice.
