So you don't know if the Afghanis have learned a lesson.
Correct?
Here is brief description for ya!
Back in 1985-86 Russians for the first time in their war against Muj, deployed their elite troops including air-cavalry.
I am not sure if you are familiar with the therm "air Cavalry". May be your HISTORY have angels and daemons instead.
Afghanistan was a graveyard of Empires. That's true.
But it was a graveyard for the Empires only until the Empires used HORSE cavalry.
Now my friend the same Afghanistan is the graveyard of primitive Afghan tribals and their Pakistani-lackeys.
Had you read your history, you would have know that with the advent of mechanized infantry, HORSES were sent to pasture. And then in the fateful years of 1960s, for the first time ever in HUMAM HISTORY, large scale assaults by air cavalry were made possible because of helicopters used by the US army.
Soon every MODERN army adapted and refined their methods.
One of those armies was from Russia.
And if you knew the history of the world (and not the history of madrassahs), you would have known that Russians were able to wipe out the Muj from major battlegrounds in Awghanistan within 9 months.
Had it not been the weapons and money and training from the USA and West, all those Muj would be speaking Ruskie lingo.
If you knew the real history, Air cavalry can only be stopped by using air-to-ground missiles and air-to-air combat.
Afghans used the stingers and blow pipes to fend off the Commies but poor Awaghans and their jihadi supporters in Pakistan forgot about it.
And guess what, without those stingers, these Muj are running like cockroaches, from every corner of mountainous terrain.
How else do you think Pak army has routed the brave Waziris from their hideouts?
Answer: With the air-assault.
And that my friend is the history that you do not know, or perhaps cannot even comprehend.
