ALl true, but anyone who thinks the war in Afghanistan is over isn't looking. Where are those alleged 800 dead a-Q/T fighters from Operation Anaconda? I believe the confirmed deaths are aboyt 12, to eight US, which, if appriximately accurate, means that the a-Q/T forces won a decisive, indeed a stunning victory against overwhelming odds. Remember, the last army to defeat the Afghans was Alexander the Great's, and they allowed open gays in the military.
