A bit over the top, IMHO. These troops don't have to take Afghanistan. No army has done that in a thousand years. The brutal Afghan winter...oh, wait a minute. We did it in six weeks. Never mind.

Six weeks. Just about as long as the French lasted against Von Moltke in the Franco-Prussian War.

We did it in six weeksNo, we didn't. We ran the Taliban out of Kabul. They are still out there up in the hills and across the Pak border. Wherever the Pashtuns live, you will find Taliban.
