The Russians were there AFTER the US troops were in Germany on their way to Berlin. Truman wanted Stalin on the Allies side against, Japan. Stalin wouldn't commit without some perks, one being taking Berlin..the other Hiroshima.
Now you've changed your tune on Afghanistan and Iraq, nobody ever said the US was cost efficient in war time. Afghanistan was NEVER defined as lets go kill Bin Laden, that was just a portion of the effort. The goal was to remove the Taliban and instill a leadership more in line with the West. Goal achieved.
BTW, I'm not concerned with whether you like the US or not, just keep the facts straight.
