Neverending story.

What's left to say ?

Eternal crap.

If one is repeating the same old mistakes, it is no wonder that the outcome is the same. Russian commanders offered their help and advise, and to share their experience with the Americans. the latter rejected, saying they do not need any advise.

A centuries-old saying concerning Afghanistan: it is easy to get inside of it, but it is very difficult to get out again. It has been like that with almost all invasions that place has seen - and that were quite a few...

"What is even worse for the Afghan soldiers is that they are still fighting and dying holding the outdated Kalashnikovs Charlie Wilson's money bought them all those years ago."

Outdated Kalashnikov's? Shows that the genius who wrote the article doesn't know what he's talking about. The AK is one of the best small arms ever created.

I guess a club isn't prone to jamming in the heat of battle or running out of ammunition. Just ask these guys (http://www.hsus.org/protect_seals.html).
