Everyone hopes they will answer the test of fear and violence well, but you never know for certain. No one wants to be the coward but the line between hero and coward under fire is razor thin. Who takes what path often surprises you. Like K Troop at the Battle of the Greasy Grass

It still blows my mind that the Soviets killed FIVE PERCENT of the Afghan population. Those are World War 2 numbers.

There were only two ways to "win" in Afghanistan: 1. Bomb the Taliban and AQ, put a few boots on the ground to so some more damage and be out the door by 2002 2. Hard reset everything. Disrespect their culture and crush it. But then build a new one. The British style.
Sometimes at night I think about those American soldiers in Afghanistan during the war who had to listen to Afghan generals raping and sodomizing little boys who were screaming in nearby quarters, and were told by their superiors not to interfere because it would negatively impact our nation building efforts.
