| #4 they're like roaches 18 is insignifigant. Actually, they're not. There are lots of AFghan civilians who are not thrilled about having infidels running their country, but not that many who are willing to risk their lives acting on their sentiments. This is why our average casualty numbers are 1/40 of Vietnam, where we were losing about 600 dead a month. |

| #3 Still think the ammo's wasted unless you can get 10 or so with each shot. |

| #2 Can't agree, Jim. Kill 18 every day, and you eliminate over 6500 a year. That's pretty close to replacement limits. The more we kill, the fewer left who have the training to really fight, and the fewer left to breed. I wonder how many of the Taliban that actually took part in the fighting against the Russians are left? I'd bet not many, and they're all in Phakeistain. |
