This is amazing footage from Apache helicopter fighting against mujahideen.

Fighting has evolved so much from ancient times when you could see the enemy face to face right in the eye. I guess technology has taken out the human factor from war.

(I do not support the war, this is just for curiosity purposes)

mate this is at least half a century old tech, if not even older

I am not arguing that this is new tech but rather the gap in technology between these fighters and the western war mongers.

Having this level of edge... Why today they are talking about negotiations with these Taliban ? This is a real question for all of us.

I think the main reason is the cost of keeping the war going. An average american soldier costs one million dollars per year to the american tax payer. Taliban were never much of a threat to Americans. They never attacked america but due to the taliban's policy of giving sanctuary to millitant groups in Afghanistan like the uzbeks, al qaeda and others, americans attacked AFG. There are also other reasons, such as the pipeline, China and natural resources.

Fighting Taliban is not in the American interests as long as Talibans don't spread their influence outside its borders.

The world have gone too much advanced in science and technology but it seems that it has given nothing good to humanity as a whole but diseases, poverty, hunger, inequality, injustice, despair and much more bad things.
Today the world needs to have edge in ethics, morality, humanity, human equality, justice and many more good things.
