"The mujadeen in Afganistan were funded from without, supplied with equipment and advanced armaments from without and provided trained fighters from without."
Sorry, but muskets and old mosin nagants, etc. were/are not advanced amaments. There were some advanced armaments, but they were mostly shoulder fired missles. The trained fighters provided were a few CIA, etc. members to teach them to fire the missles and to help with tactics. There were no trained armies of men provided, that would have resulted in war with Russia.

Militias are locals the mujadeen were recruited from all over the Islamic world. Look at Bin Laden, you don't think he was Afgani do you?
