re: #464 Dark_Falcon

The problem is that the geography of Afghanistan favors insurgency far more than that of Ukraine. You can still hide in a mountain cave, but thermal imaging makes it far harder than it used to be to hide in the forest.

Afghans also have a cultural advantage. Their country has been a war torn shithole for a very long time. People are used to it, fighters are hardened. They also have a religious component that helps as a motivator. I have no doubt Ukrainians are tough folks but they are unaccustomed to the hardhships involved with living in a war zone. They might get used to it.
