The Russians were there for a different reason and fought with completely different tactics. That is why THEY were unsuccessful. We have been very successful. We did in months what the Russians couldn't do in 10 years.
Mind elaborating, Hell? I'm not convinced the Russians' reasons were that different (The Great Game, as usual). Nor that their tactics were that different.

That they were unsuccessful, I agree.

But "we" have been very successful?? Gimme a break.

Anyway, we're off-topic here in Society'n'Rights. Most Canadians in Afghanistan are probably playing out a childhood war fantasy. Good luck to 'em.
