  1. The US didn't leave SAMs this time (there being no reason to do so) and the rest of the gear is obsolete like HMMWV junk light trucks. It has symbolism to Bubba but the US has no need for that gear which is why it got FMSed in the first place. JLTV is the replacement for HMMWV and remedies the faults of a weak NATO liaison vehicle never intended for direct combat and very bad at surviving attack (as demonstrated from Mogadishu to present day).. I actually DO remember and have studied both wars. Operation Cyclone was a bargain against the Soviet Union and carried out by competent operatives. What should never have happened is "nation building" which is a direct assault on local culture hence doomed to failure.

  2. Cartels are DISCIPLINED, ORGANIZED, and so effective they are the local government in many areas. They survive under the footprint of a similarly degenerate central government and against competing warlords. Cartels are skilled, adaptive and they are above all successful. The ANA have nothing to fight for and it shows. The cartels have survival to fight for and it shows.
