Jack,
In regard to your theory that:
"The Afghans did not defeat the Soviets — ie. THE US OF A DID"
Main problem I see with that theory is that there were no US soldiers in
Afghanistan. Other than that minor point, it's real interesting.
In regard to your other statement:
"…the Soviets did not use unlimited airpower against us."
This kind of goes back to my first point, "we" weren't there. It also has
another problem in that the Afghan rebels didn't have an air force of their
own which would lead one to ask exactly *how* was the Russian air force
limited?
