Did anyone seriously think that the US 20-year adventure in Afghanistan was going to end in any other way?

The US went to Afghanistan, ostensibly to find Osama Bin Laden. We stayed there for 20 years in order to make weapons manufacturers wealthy and, secondly, to root out the Taliban.
Weapons manufacturers made billions. And we lost. Just like Viet Nam.
Any student of history could read how the Russians left Afghanistan, defeated, before the US came in.
Was this outcome inevitable?
