Russia bailed after 10 years, I don’t know why we ever thought we could do what they could not. That part of the world has been fucked up for the last bazillion years and I don’t think anything will ever change that. It’s like telling Christians to quit being Christians.
I saw an interview with a Russian officer who warned "us".. You could start at one end of the country and blanket bomb to the other end - and when you get there they will rise out of the smoking rubble and shoot you.. Bad bunch..
If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...WOW, What a Ride!"
