No. I was pointing out how the Afgans have kicked Russia out of their country and have made it a living hell for the US and our superior Army with just their AKs and small munitions. but I assumed that would go right over your head.

It has everything to do with the terrain in Afghanistan. It is a harsh rocky environment that is littered with interconnecting caves. Additionally, the Russians and the US don't really care in a significant way. If we actually cared about Afghanistan (like a tyrannical government coming to get you would) we would wipe them off the map. Both the Russians and the US are tried to take control of Afganistan to hand over to the Afgani people while not taking undue risk of US lives. So again, sleep tight with your teddy bear/gun in your arms because it makes you feel secure but doesn't do a damn thing.

If the US wanted, they could leave Afghanistan as a giant crater in the Earth. The two sides are using two different sets of rules. I can assure you that those rules would not be in effect if the citizens of the US turned on the government. That is the only reason. Plus, you do know that the Afghans are using more than just firearms? They have explosives, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank missiles, etc. The US supplied the Afghans with Stinger missiles during the war with the USSR.

While your narrative sounds really cool, it's not close to accurate.
