[QUOTE="Jones, post: 748064, member: 4805"] Strictly from a warfighting standpoint, Russia had some pretty significant advantages over us in Afghanistan. Their supply lines were much shorter(they share a border), they didn't have to worry about public opinion (at least to the degree that the US does), and they had no qualms about waging unrestricted war on the Afghan population. They still lost. We're not going to "win" any war in Afghanistan, the best we can hope to do is define whatever situation currently exists as "victory" and then try to get the hell out before it deteriorates. Coincidentally that's pretty much what we're doing in Iraq. [/QUOTE]
