  1. They were our adversaries also. We should have destroyed them and left. If they popped back up, we should have destroyed it again and left. That country is a wasteland of countries and bodies. I think china is the only smart ones, rape and pillage all the natural resources then walk away and let the Afgan's deal with the aftermath.

  3. Looks like the Russian is holding a Dragonov chambered in 7.62x54, judging from the magazine.

  4. The Afghani's were using Enfield's they got from the British. Then they had AK's added to their arsenal and Biden gave them AR's.

  7. As you look at those photos, think about Charlie Wilson's War and the mess it made for us then an for an additional 20 years later. Where are the stingers that various alphabet agencies gave to unstable jahadi's because they thought they would be valuable allies.

    The Soviets would have been bogged down in that country without a bit of our help.

    Don't forget the news stories that we were supposed to get valuable minerals out of Afghanistan, just like the Iraq was supposed to pay for our efforts in that country with oil sales.
