Tell me how helping enable the rise of not only the Taliban but Hekmatyar’s Hezb-i-islami and of course al-Qaida vs strategically making that mess a long-time Soviet problem was not insane.
If you wanted to fight for the Soviet Union and sustain them and their military goals, you should have, you could have served communism then and still can, but it is too late for you to fight to preserve the Soviet Union.
