Logic tracks. Vietnam realized like China you beat the West economically... From weapons, advisors, and supplying US troops to buying shoes, shirts, and other items from Vietnam now...Afghanistan misses that sweet American taxpayer funded largesse...

Economic realities often spur cultural changes. Too many examples (post-World War II).

Cultural change is never linear. Goes forward and backwards. Progress and retrogression are flip sides of the same coin.
