Seems to me that if the goat-herder, opium growing, local afghan peasants can defy a Soviet standoff for about ten years,
and can defeat a US based military giving them shock and awe, and hill to hill combat for 12 or so years with crude weapons,
these mountain people must be the best mother F**k’in
warriors in the world!!!
What a disgrace to the US to have to walk away from this
major conflict in the world. What other country within
our treaty network will ever believe that the US has their
back???
They’re nothing special. They only held out so long because our military weren’t allowed to go after them in their Pakistan caves.
There is a victory, but no one is willing to go there.
What would George Patton or Douglas MacArthur do if turned loose to determine the enemy and kill it?
