Can you evaluate the Soviet's stratege, and tacticts of fighting guerillas?

Were the Soviets bad at chasing after the Afghans?

I have read some articles that the Soviets were not good at this kind of guerilla fighting, as they landed the helicopters in the open field (which drew rocket attacks from the Afghans) and their calvary units being lured into closed terrain, being mass-killed.

But I want to know more. Were the Soviet tactics still based on the world war 2 experiences?

Overall, were the Soviets good fighters and inflicted many casualties to the Afghans?

Or were they stupid and just got killed?

I want to know as much information as possible.

I want to know their mistakes, favorite tactics, etc.

thanks.

Listening to music?

Some times when I listen to music which is my favorite, I feel that I am not listening properly. It may be kind of joke. But its not so. I feel that I am not going deeply to the music. Why? But its not happening when I listen to non-fav music.

What is defined as normal? What's crazy?

SO many labels for so many people. . . Instead of calling someone crazy...don't you think that maybe they just need a hug? and does that ,"normal," person really have it all together?

Most of us are selfish, but when in troubles we expect other peoples' help...Your opinion on the issue !?

When one is young, beautifull and healthy, has enough to eat, has a job etc..., than everything is allright...But when one is alone, disabled, ignored...than life becomes hell and one suffers, yet one has no possibility what-so-ever to make a change...
