"""""""""Problem with the Taliban and their cohorts is they have deluded themselves into believing that they defeated the mighty Soviet army. They conveniently seem to have forgotten that they defeated a dispirited Soviet army that didn't have the will to fight, and did it with assistance and an infusion of arms from the U.S. I think the ratbastards are in for a real surprise when they tangle with the Special Forces.
I say drive them into caves for the winter and pick them off one-by-one when they come out to piss in the snow.""""""""

That is perfectly true. The Russians were not motivated. They were not on a mission. I think it's clear that there is a great difference in the attitude between what was with the Russian, and what will be when the USA moves in.

It's going to be just like groundhog hunting. A head pops up. A head pops off.
