I've been saying this for 40 yrs. A foreign land army wouldn't get
half a state from the beaches before being defeated. Every redneck,
yokel, hunter, militia nut, and gun collector in the Us would be
mounted up and rolling within minutes of the news. This is why I
found the movie Red Dawn totally preposterous. Those pi ata pinkos
woulda' been wiped out in 24 hrs. And AKs vs scoped 300 WinMags?
Puh-leeze!

So why then do you think you can defeat Afghanistan?

The way the US fights wars is like hunting. *The animals (Afghanistans,
others ) are not to be wiped out,but they are killed off like culling
animals. *You kill a few and let a few live so you can hunt them next year.
If we were really serious about winning a war, we would do like WW2 in part.
No problem with fire bombing Tokyo that killed thousands of people, or
dropping the atomic bomb.

There are no Taliban cities to bomb in Afghanistan. And mud doesn't
burn.

The Taliban do.
