Osama boys were then friends of the US and they got Red Eye anti-aircraft missiles.

the helicopter has just gone the way of the cavalry, for the machine gun has made its appearance in the death-match arena

the usa troops may soon find itself doing nothing more than guarding hamlets (oops, i meant green zones), and waiting for meals ready to eat (oops, i meant all supplies, including toilet paper)

the guarding and waiting can consume a lot of time, and expense, as contractors embedded in the supply chain jack up their ask-price

soon enough the long range B52s will have to be remobilized to bomb people into the stone ages, until victory, and that tactic will again fail to work, this time sooner, because the jet fuel prices will zoom and the tax payers are already, as an aggregate group, technically bankrupt.

the dienbienphu re-play will likely be on the global stage, not limited to tough afghanistan, rough mesopotamia and gruf persia
