Afghanistan

Half the problem is there are too many namby pambys who won't let our military forces fight a flipping war properly!

The Russians and British didn't have that namby pamby problem in Afghanistan , they pulled out all the stops and went real total war on the country ...they still couldn't win though .
Now it might be said that the Russians did get a result in Chechen conflict by fighting a flipping war properly without the namby pamby worries ,but the real result was that they bought off many of their former enemies and installed them as little warlord dictators because they couldn't achieve anything else .
