Still, Alexander lost at least 2000 dead to the weather alone during his campaign in these mountains.

Yes the U.S. troops did fight very well at Shah-i-Kot. As far as Alexander's losses to the weather though, I think modern technology and equipment give us an unfair advantage as long as we remember to bring our sleeping bags!
