For Afghan wars before that the equipment would have looked
very different. But there have been so many such wars they
blend together.
Folks who send troops to Afghanistan with any sort of mandate
to "win" clearly never read enough history books. The previous
strategy of riding around shooting the place up to make sure
no one manages to get in charge may suck as a strategy
(especially to the locals) but it's less bad than any other
strategy tried (especially to the locals) since the invention
of smelted metal. |
