    The Taliban didn’t form up after we invaded. They were already a thing. They’re the ones that ended the Russian/Warlord period. The idea was kind of like an Islamic unity government. They’re also mostly Pashtun and want the Pashtun areas the British put in Pakistan because the British were extremely shitty at drawing lines.

    While terror attacks have formed a part of their strategy they have always acted more like a government in exile than a terrorist group. ISIS on the other hand is a terrorist group claiming it’s a government over whatever area they think they can get away with.








  • A. You have no clue about how artillery fires.

    B. It’s literally in the name. They didn’t do that for shits and giggles. They weren’t trying to fool the Germans.

    C. The 40mm HEDP round is fully capable of destroying light armor. In your limited idea of grenade launchers there is nothing that ever got higher than a mobility kill on a tank.

    D. The trajectory of the ordnance is not included in anyone’s definition of grenade.

    Please don’t run around spouting random stuff so confidently. I’m allergic to that.
