@OneCash Looking at Iraq, it doesn't seem you're right as they are more closer to the west and are arguably more free than under Saddam. In Syria, the Russians ran the operation with the U.S. as a neutral in the conflict. You fail to mention Korea, because it was successful. Also I ask, if you were fighting for the U.S. and the insurgency were hiding in civilian populations, would you suspect the civilians as insurgents ready to kill you and your brothers in arms?

@j4genius961 The U.S. is already fighting Russia in a sense with Ukraine. Ukraine is an inferior version of a western army, and since Russia is struggling there, if they were to face the U.S., they would get blown away.

@horrorfan1978 I agree

@spinekingjrgensen5779 because every insurgent that died can be written down as a "civilian." Which further inspires the insurgents.

@kalajari1749 buddy, 3 weeks to Baghdad compared to more than a year to Kyiv is all I am going to say. Calling Russia a professional is pretty funny considering their military can't even plan logistics to fight a country on their border as shown by the very long convoy in the 1st few months of the war. Now the invasion has been dragged out for more than a year with not a lot to show in terms of land gained. The U.S. completed the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan with significantly fewer troops in a shorter time span.

@kalajari1749 Man, you calling Iraq in 1991 a poorly trained militia? You barely do jack research and forget about the USSR aid dumping, 3rd biggest army in the world at the time, and finished fighting Iran and Kuwait. Sure, they are poorly trained, but it should take a while to dismantle them. Iraq in 1991 had a modern military with a capable Airforce and such and is comparable to Ukraine in 2014. Yet it gets steamrollered within a week. Not to mention heavy AA and Mig 29s in the fleet could've wrecked havoc in the air, but it didn't. Pierre Sprey moaning about how the Abrams cannot hold a candle to the T72, oh how he was wrong in that regard.

@kalajari1749 I can tell you do very little research, Vietnam was practically aid dumped with China and Russia's newest equipment. Ranging from gear, kit, and guns to Tanks, Planes, and SAMs. In 1973 to 1975, they struggled against a ARVN side with no foreign support and held for 2 years against the North that was still being supplied by the two greatest mass producers in their ideology. U.S. held out there for a decade. Then we get to Afghanistan, U.S. holds Afghanistan for 20 years and invades the country with lightly armed special forces troops that weren't numerous yet took over the country successfully within 2 months. The USSR failed to take over the country in 1979 and only occupied the roads and major cities of Afghanistan and got hammered doing so.

@tacitus6384 btw, some guy named Kala says Russia is a modern and very professional army. What's your take on Russia's army currently?

@rodoleb Imagine if your country wasn't ran by corrupt politicians and aligned with the west so that you wouldn't need to be invaded by Israel due to NATO protection.

you are right @rollingthunder7390

@rashidnassermartinez646 cite your source of the insurgency deaths were actually civilian. Pretty sure wiki splits the two categories, but regardless, in Afghanistan according to wiki, only 3.5k coalition troops died within 20 years compared to around 57k insurgents dead, and around 70k civilians dead according to wiki. Wiki is known to use many trusted sources and leak Pentagon files.

@kalajari1749 but you gotta tell me where you got that source from. Also in this book by a war reporter called "Generation Kill" makes note of unarmed military age males with binoculars guiding artillery against marines. Then we got Red Platoon where it details a civilian taking pictures of a base from the inside in Afghanistan, I wonder why.
