True. But if we don't have the stomach to wage total war against the people of Afghanistan, why do you think we'd have the stomach to wage total war against (a portion of) the people of the US?

I'm contesting the statement If anything the war in Afghanistan has proven that technology is no match for resilience and grit.

It's not really technology holding us back, in either situation. Fear the day technology is good enough that the few can act without the restraint of civilization.
