At the start of the invasion of Afghanistan, there was a cavalry charge. By British and American troops. Probably with bayonets.

We have fewer horses and bayonets, but we still have some because they can still be useful (though in the above cases the horses were Afghan).

...increase the socioeconomic power and industrial output of the Afghani citizens so they can strengthen their infrastructure to afford advancements in transport technology which in turn will help to increase their socioeconomic power and industrial output?

I'm guessing things will go back to what it used to be before the invasion. It's just another destructive war for the Afghan people.

I just want to see a donkey flying through the air with a giant rotor on it's back, delivering supplies.

You know, al Shabab, in "Somalia", uses donkeys to transport materials along their logistics chain as well. Connection? Poverty, methinks.

Donkeys will be useful long after helicopters have disappeared from the world.
