=Afghanistan= Since September 12, 2001, our military has been at war in Afghanistan. A soviet invasion flared up Afghan resistance and involved an estimate of 30,000 soldiers that grew to 100,000. It is amazing how many people will go and sacrifice everything for our country. I mean, I would be willing to put myself in harms way to protect the people that mean the most to me. And people have done just that for us many years ago. The USSR had superior weapons and complete air control, allowing the rebels to successfully fool their enemies. Soviet and government forces controlled the urban areas while the war was progressing, the rebels worked on their organization and tactics. They began using imported weapons such as our U.S. aircraft missiles to neutralize technological advantages of the USSR. So they stole our missiles. Don't those people know that stealing is illegal? Apparently they do and they don't care that it is wrong. Thier going to steal our governments expensive toys of destruction anyway. More than 1 million Afghans died in this war and 5 million of them became refugees.Differences aside, it is sad that many of both our people died because of our governments disagreements. 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and 37,000 wounded. This war left Afghanistan with major political, economic, and ecological problems.
