Hi, Lee Lofaso!

BA>>> Tanks and bombers are pretty much useless in an urban

Simply Afghanistan is a perfect place for a guerilla war. As well as
Vietnam is. If some countries provide these people with a lot of weapon
to defeat them impossible.
LL> Vietnam (Indochina) cannot be viewed in the same light as

What do you mean? There were a many South Vietnamese who fought against
North.
LL> The one common element between Afghanistan and Vietnam is the
LL> people of those places are still there, whereas the invading armies
LL> have all gone home.

Red monkey? What monkeys are in Afghanistan now? ;-) As for "white
monkeys" in Vietnam I have strong doubts: after all the Russians who
fought in Vietnam were white. ;)

ak>>>> If a person hasn't been in a mental hospital during his life it

BA>>> Submachine guns and "assault rifles" are just bullet hoses. They

If you were right the soldiers would fight with simple rifles today, not
with submachine guns. Rifles are more effective and accurate. ;-)
ak>> But submachine guns are perfect weapon for mass murders.
LL> Most mass murderers who choose to use submachine guns also carry

They carry with them all the weapon they can find.

The longer this situation will last the better players will appear. ;=|
