In afganistan, about rougly 1900 US soldiers were killed, wereas about 60-70000 insurgents were killed.
Are there insurgents in Ukraine? It was the Afghani resistance to the US invasion.
Wars aren’t won by who kills the most civilians. Otherwise the US won in Vietnam. The US invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years and 2.3 trillion dollars trying to prop up a puppet government that collapsed and the pre-invasion government retook Afghanistan.
Expect a similar outcome in Yemen.

Learn about Yemen, or don't... It is interesting that you bring up Iraq given that the US lost in it too ultimately.
