The Russians couldn’t pull it off,

Do you really believe that there is any equivalence between Soviet era underpaid, unmotivated conscripts, overseen by zampolits, and our current volunteer force?

The Russians had the numbers and the equipment. They killed people by the thoudands, but couldn’t conquer these people.

I think there’s a lesson here. Unless you bring the Taliban in to our side, and together you oust Al Queada, you could be in there 100 years.
