You posted, "Ruskies did this; poured diesel down the holes and set them on fire. I'm all for using thermal imaging to find vents, exits, and other access portals and sealing them all in one manner or another. Forever."

So the Ruskies won the war by doing this?

The Ruskies made the mistake of getting bogged down in a land war against the Afghanis!

The Russians did not have several Navy Carriers able to bomb at will. The Russians did not have smart bombs! The Russians did not have B52's capable of carpet bombing. The Russians did have Fuel Air Bombs. The Russians did not have A10's.

The Russians invaded and lost their war.

I don't want to get locked in a land war. The Ruskies mistake was trying to conquer the country by capturing territory. Big mistake. We can drop in, cook 'em, then leave.
