It was a "secret war" which was not the best kept secret. Afghanistan was invaded by the USSR in 1980, and the US supplied the Afghan resistance (called the Mujahideen) with modern firepower to fight them, much as Communist countries supplied the North Vietnamese earlier, without committing their regular forces.

If you're talking about the Soviet War (Russian War) in Afghanistan in the 1970s/80s, yes. The US even SUPPLIED Afghan Rebels with anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles to shoot down Russian aircraft with. If you're talking about the US "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan which commenced in October 2001 (because of 9/11) then no. The current military campaign in Afghanistan is to eliminate terrorism...communism no longer became an issue AFTER 1990. Communism still exists, but it's strictly a paper tiger now. No teeth, no meaning.
Why did the us fight the Afghanistan war?
For economical reasons.
