Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen

DaHuNt writes: "A well written article about Afghan experiences by the Soviets... Food for thought... 'When Igor Lisinenko entered what he was told was an Afghan rebel base in 1982, he wasn't sure what to expect. It was, after all, his first assignment...'" Very good article. Too bad we aren't learning from the British and Soviet mistakes.

    AMEN!!!

    Micheal, and everyone else who thinks we will even try to conquer Afghanistan, are dumbasses. Ignorant. Tools of the idiotic media (ie, La Times).

    How many times does our government have to say 'THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A TRADITIONAL WAR' for some of these dumbasses to understand them?

    Commando raids, some large scales, and airstrikes, will be our tools.

    JESUS, Micheals ignorant comment pisses me off...

    I just read some sad news on Slashdot - Egg Troll was found dead with his penis in his boyfriend's ass this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the homosexual community will miss him - even if you didn't suck his dick, you've probably enjoyed it up your ass. Truly an American fag.

    (note that I use the old-style "you've probably enjoyed" rather than the new "no denying his contributions". I think it's funnier this way.)

    How the fuck do you do 'small special ops missions' in a country on the other side of the world? Just have them hitchhike in? Even commando missions need infrastructure, which means people on the ground in Afghanistan. Which then gives a target for retaliation. And then we bring in more troops to guard the facilities.

    Right, Michael, and you would know this precisely how? Particularly given the fact that the US hasn't DONE anything yet.

    I understand, you KNOW the US hasn't learned from the experience of the British and Soviets because of your privileged access to the top secret briefings going on in Washington. Nice to know that the crack Slashdot editorial team has top secret, eyes only access.

    Oh, right, forgive me. You are relying on your vast military experience. You numerous years in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Your hight rank. I forget, did you retire as an Admiral, or as a General? Or was it both?

    Oh, I'm sorry, I'm mistaken. You are relying on the broad, but also deep, education you received on your way to a Ph.D. in both political science and history.

    Or is it that you have no idea what you are talking about.
