I wonder if Patton could have won in Afghanistan? 20 years of hearts and mind doctrine did not work.

LTC (Join to see) - Very nice saying. Yeah so true. They outlasted Alexander the Great, Mongols, English, Russians, and Americans. I am starting to think the terrain has a lot to do with. The terrain definitely changed the tactics in mountainous areas. Alexander the Great had to break his formations into smaller groups. The whole English army and its retinue were wiped out on one narrow winter path except for the doctor. He reported the slaughter. The Russian convoys were ambushed quite well on narrow roads. Hit the front and last vehicles. They are trapped as the Afghans fire from the mountains and hills. They could hear and see our helicopters.
There is more to the story than the mountains. Alexander the Great rounded up 100,000 Afghans at one place and slaughtered them all, but the Afghans would be resilient. I like to think they are tough because the land is tough. You have to be tough.

WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld died on Wednesday after he decided he could no longer live in a world without endless war in Afghanistan.
“He couldn’t take it, not after what they did to the Iraq War, too,” said friend and former Vice President Dick Cheney. “No father wants to outlive his children.”
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Rumsfeld graduated from Princeton University in 1954 and went on to serve as a U.S. Navy pilot for three years, where he earned the callsign “Captain Morgan” after then-Ensign Don “Rummy” Rumsfeld drank an entire handle of the infamous pirate liquor and shit his pants. He won a seat in Congress in 1962 and later became the youngest and oldest defense secretary in history.
“I guess you could say I had a little captain in me,” Rumsfeld later wrote to Pentagon staffers in one of his so-called “snowflakes” — short memos he would fire off to staffers in a self-described “flurry” that 59,000 pages later turned into a “blizzard.”
Overall, history will judge Rumsfeld on both the good things that happened and the bad things that happened during his tenure as defense secretary during the Bush administration.
He was well known for supporting, planning, and executing unwinnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while turning a blind eye to torture and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib and being a total dick to a soldier wanting to know when the armor for his Humvee was going to show up in Iraq....
