Remember their strength comes from their guerilla tactics
(multiply the effectiveness of the Afgahn mujahedins by 10).

Its interesting that you are being so quantitative in your comparisons. Serbs are great fighters when killing babies in Croatia and Bosnia. Very brave, tireless and motivated when digging (and filling) mass graves. ARKAN struck terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians. I have my doubts when they face a professional, trained superpower army with intense aircover. Sounds like Slob will have to run to South Pacific(or wherever tyrants seem to disappear to..).

Do you suppose guerilla ability is actually inherited? Seems I recall my great grandfather was a mountain guerilla fighter too -- until Sherman hanged his ass. And don't forget how Xenophon and the 10,000 (without air drops) brushed the mountain folks away, or 1st MarDiv fought their way out of the Reservoir. As Eastern people say, "The dogs bark, but the caravan passes!"
