US or Russian Troops have occupied Afghanistan since 1979.

Afghanistan wins every time.

There’s only one way to deal with terrorism in that place. And it ain’t a pretty option. But it is a quick and final one.

That's not true. There was no occupation between 1989 and 2001 as there?

There were British incursions into Afghanistan before the Russians and Americans:

Afghanistan still won every time, but got to live in barbarism and violence!!!!

If I remember my history, the British invaded Afghanistan. The only one who survived was a doctor who was allowed to walk out because he had treated wounded on both sides. The British, some what annoyed by their defeat, sent another army in that leveled Kabul, then turned around and marched out to the tune of their bagpipes.
