Original Tom
: Our boys were just fighting Al Quida, a minority in Afghanistan. Most of the population wanted to see us kick their asses out. The Russians were fighting the WHOLE population. NOBODY wanted them there.
Ron: This guy was just a little kid during VN. Kinda hard to hold what his government did against him personally. For me, anyway. That would be like him holding it against my kids that our government armed the Afghans against him and his buddies. From what little he told me, him and his family weren't real good Comrades. He was drafted, and went to protect his family. His Dad and a couple uncles were doing time in a prison somewhere. I don't know if he got out of Dodge before or after the collapse of the USSR. I'll ask him.
