    Sure, but the enemy wasn’t China but rather some militarily weak Middle Eastern countries.

    It wasn’t that big of an effort to project power in there.

      It was far more of an effort actually. We could only resupply Afghanistan by air and through Pakistan. In comparison we have direct access to many ports in the SE Asia region.
