Yep, the us has demonstrated to the world how combat ineffective they are against a remotely developed country
Our issue is that we have lots of bombs and no stomach at all for boots on the ground. (The last part is a good thing in my book). Hard to be effective with our politics and MIC
Boots on the ground is worthless without air superiority, your positions will just get bombed/shelled constantly. The US has been unable to achieve that without assistance like it had in Iraq.
Small drones just make it that much harder since they can evade conventional anti-air defenses.
