There are reasons why the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who went to Afghanistan didn't solve the riddle yet.
The problem is that the Soviets (before) and the current US/UK approach to the war has been one characterised by the use of brute force and ignorance. Never going to work in a million years. I suggest that this thread is one about a recommended new approach where a more carefully targeted and precise tactical approach would be used.
