I must disagree with you. Are you familiar with the Soviet Campaign in Afghanistan. The only turkeys those guerillas are going to shoot are us. They just have to hide in the rocks, we have to find them. Remember the paintball ambush thread? It may not be exactly the same ratio but... DO NOT underestimate a determined, trained, and fanatical force, no matter how few, or how old their weapons are. I am not flaming you, but I really think that a lot of people are going to die.

The main difference that everyone is missing here is that the Soviets were trying to occupy the country, and were totally owning the Afghans until the West started pumping money and Stingers into the country.

We will have local support of the "Northern Alliance" of former Muj fighters and we will not be trying to take over the country.

Major differences in tactics and strategy, along with actual air superiority, (unlike the Sovs after the Stingers showed up) will cause us to have FAR fewer casualties than the Soviets did.

Hmmm... some things for me to ponder, but I still think it will be hard as hell to find people in all those rocks. Thank you DR, for setting the record straight (as usual).

I would be happy to go!
This is a Great Country that we live in and we have to fight to keep it that way.
I would go for all that have died to make it the way it is now for us and to help keep it like it is.
