Buddhism once again growing in Afghanistan

Nothing to explain. I'm giving you reasons like you have forced me to before.

You seem to forget that the Taliban made this into a guerilla-style warfare. The best way to remove those that fight like cowards is time and surgical steel. Over time people will become laxed or give up information and over time the Taliban members and leaders will be killed silently and peacefully. That's how you combat guerilla warfare. You stomp down and stay there for a good amount of time.

made this into a guerrilla war? u mean a broke bunch of people with no conventional military or weapons should be facing the US, with its 900 billion dollar a year military budget, on an open battle field ww2 style? haha.

how is the US an authority on how to combat guerrilla warfare? didn't u guys get ur asses kicked and humiliated in vietnam?

so i am glad u agree that if the taliban were to occupy america they would be justified in putting down any resistance.

[MDresden]

Justified, maybe. But wiped out in less then 48 hours...definitely.

We're not an authority, but remember we do have the military college that is nothing but a think tank on how to do every type of battle with every type of equipment and service member.

For us and the computer mathmeticians, it seems the best way to beat a guerilla (coward) army is time.

except that with time, the taliban have gotten stronger. all it takes is a rusty old mortar hooked up with some wires to take out a few nato dogs who had millions of dollars invested in their training and maintaining.

[MDresden]

Which is meaningless as far as money goes....because of the blank checks. The big wheel of training new soldiers and giving them better and better equipment won't ever stop for anyone. Heck, I think it's so ingrained into society that we will never again have a "small" military. It's even worked its way into the college system we have.

well i am glad we agree that the life of a nato serviceman is worthless. we have finally made some progress here.

Madness.

I didn't say the life, you mentioned the money behind it. The money is well guaranteed for many many years...because the blank checks seem to be written for new blank checks lol.

Yes and then the jihadist had to go home to his wife/family and tell them because he killed a NATO member he's without job and unable to pay for his family.

There are many willing to replace him in a job.

Which is pretty much the fate of most veterans in America

I saw a an Iraq war vet with no legs begging in Philly on the corner of Broad and Market St.

[Best not to include the story, not sure if it made the news.]

[ScimitarXEdge]

Well the key word here is "story" since it would more or less be propaganda, and not reality.

[MDresden]

No, it was about a terp who yelled that his brother has sinned and was the reason we were attacking those that fired on us.

[ScimitarXEdge]

what? make sense please. Put the drugs and booze away.
