I'm delighted you've seen it, would be even more delighted had the American people learned.
I've read several books on the Soviet - Afghan war, remember "The Bear Trap" especially well, which Bush or Cheney had read it.
AND, in addition to that, I had no idea a patrolling unit tasked with attacking traffic on a main road would be so poorly armed in the field, so poorly led in the field, so poorly supported, with such poor leadership in the rear. Their C3I was more of a hazard to them than an asset.
