Immediately after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. government initiated a secret war in Afghanistan.
Fewer than a hundred Special Forces soldiers, building a coalition with the rebels of the Northern Alliance, faced off against the Taliban and the terrorist organization al-Qaeda and succeeded in driving them out of power by the end of the year — with minimal coalition casualties and without conventional, large-scale military operations.
Despite this victory, the U.S. and its allies soon became mired in a seemingly never-ending war, the impact of which is still being felt to this day.
