maybe it sounds cynically but American losses in Afganistan are not so large they are comparable with deathes in accidents
In my opinion supreme NATO Command considers Afganistan as large military polygon with "soft" targets (mojaheds are armed with obsolete hand grenade launchers and automatic rifles). At the same time army gets experience of being "under fire". It means much for future, "serious" wars.
Also they defend their business (Production of heroin (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/russianow/politics/7847007/Heroin-production-in-Afghanistan-has-grown-by-40-times-says-Russian-drugs-tsar.html) growed 40 time since the beginning of the invasion)
