Whatever.
The Taliban are hiding in the hills or over in Pakistan and use IEDs to blow up a few school buses and the occasional Humvee while we build schools, bridges, hospitals and highways and control all the major cities.
Yeah we are surrounded and cut off
pffft
Open a window and get some air.
Go for a walk & talk to real people who've been there

Did i say that we are surrounded and cut off? No. I said that everywhere they went and failed, we did also. Stop acting arrogant since you lack a proper argument.
Terrorist fighters used similar techniques when fighting Russia, the only difference is, Russia was smart enough to pull out earlier.

Yeah, Russia failed in Afghanistan but the Mujahadeen were trained and armed by the US at the time. The Taliban took on the US army with improvised bombs and won. So, neither side can brag I don't think. The USA hasn't won a war since WW2.
Before you go off on a rant
I know that in the States they teach you that you've never lost a war since 1812 (if you even count that one?) so no need to go on and on about it.

Lack a proper argument?
Yeah maybe I'm too busy shooting holes in yours.

Yeah they were so smart that's why they lost 4 times as many in a much shorter amount of time. The real reason why the casualties are less is because unlike before the Afghans know for damn sure how the Taliban are and this time around don't want the Taliban back in power.
If it wasn't for the Pakistani ISI the Taliban wouldn't have a pot to piss in.

The war between Russia and the terrorists in Afghanistan happened in the 80's, leading me to believe that the reasons for the high casualty rate was due to inferior technology at the time.

so you insult people, act like a child and offer nothing but fear mongering. did I miss something. Iran has thousands of Jews living there. Is that a lie?
how about you get off the Zionist bandwagon and grow up.
You are full of bias since anyone that differs in opinion gets dumb attempts by you to insult rather than converse like civilized people.
you seem like a child with a pop gun.

Very two dimensional thinking
At "the Time" it was "State of the art"

You know how Russia fights. They send in a hundred guys. If that doesn't work they send in a thousand. If that doesn't work they send in 10000. Numbers mean nothing to them.

And at the time, the technology and funding supplied to the Mujahideen from the US was probably superior.

Is this a recent revelation of yours?
