The Taliban gave the Russians hell and finally ran them out.

Actually, Russia had the Taliban almost beaten, when we stepped in and armed them and trained them on how to beat the Russians.

On the other hand, if you take the Taliban lightly, you can guaranty causalities.

Never underestimate the enemy.

All this is garbage. The Taliban didn't arise until AFTER the Russians left!!!
The people who gave the Russians hell are now in the Northern Alliance.
