too bad they aren't all like rambo this war would have been over in days

Srsly who decided to go after the Taliban in the middle of one of their harshest winters in memory?
It's all for propaganda purposes, nothing else. Our politicians need something to tell their electorate and the army needs something to do.AussieReaper wrote:

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
this question have been asked and debated here to no end, man. if you would beleave some of the regulars on this forum - yes, they pretty much plan to do "stern talking" to them. and then do a grand and wondrous presentation of how kewl their western way of life is, and finally "win them over" by giving away cans of beans and soccer balls.BN wrote:

you know, the question is not really if they intend to destroy their enemy there - i'm not even sure is they can, certainly not with their current leadership and war doctrine.

Even the Soviets got out after 9 years...
