Author Peter Green explains in his top rated book that Alexander the Great did defeat Afghanistan.Originally Posted by revelarts
But you know none of that is true.
so Drummond whines about the Independent being a liberal paper. which has ZERO to do with the fact that Afghanistan is a hot mess that no one, not even Alexander the Great, has ever been able to defeat. America and the U.K. can add it's names to the list of empires that have come fought, and left. Left SOON i hope.
To understand the role of the USA in Afghanistan, one needs to refer to General Tommy Franks book where he explains he did not intend to invade, but intended to have a civil war and help the Northern Alliance win using Air power or bomb and missile power supplied by his forces.
But he did not invade as he did in Iraq.
Ask Franks if he defeated Saddam and I believe he would say he did. This was with an actual invasion.
I believe TYR when he says he would have kicked some butt.
