Seems this guy was drafted in the spring of 1986, when he turned 18. By early 1987, he was fighting in Afghanistan. He said most days there was little or no fighting. Then battles would flare up and maybe 50 of them & 50 of the muslims died. It was often a mutual exchange with equal numbers of both sides getting killed.
In late 1988, when the russians agreed to withdraw, the battles became more intense for the final year, a lesson for libs who want to cut and run now, our boys will be in more harm than they are now!
At the end, it seems a lot of bolsheviks got killed thanks to superior American weapons given to the muslims. Most of these weapons have been used up. Used to kill commies, not a bad thing!
No doubt russia got whooped and left in humiliation. Dem bolsheviks want the same thing!
I tell this commie the same thing will not happen to the USA because God is on our side and Bush is a strong leader! He's been in the USA since the 1990's. Isn't it time for this commie to go home?

The Russians lost because they tried to conquer and rule a country that is made up of numerous warlords and their dominions. We, on the other hand, are running through the area killing a group that is in competition for power with those warlords so they basically leave us alone. There is no relationship between the two.Afghanistan is not a united country. It is the space between all the countries around it. It is, however, the largest producer of opium in the world, followed by Columbia and the Syrian-controlled Bakka Valley in Lebanon.

We made a big mistake in helping the Mujahadeen to fight the Russians and we are feeling the blowback from that now, We should have left them to the Russians and maybe even helped the Russians to finish them because who did the Mujahadeen become? none other than Al qaueda.

People are still stuck in the propaganda mindset of the Cold War. The Russians are no joke, they have a very good, well trained military, just like the U.S. If the Russians couldn't beat them, we can't either.

Well do you sir, have proof that we can? Or Even a better question. Why were we there in the first place and why do we need to be there now?
