Russians Army was Laughing

[bearice]

I remember when Russian Army was withdrawing from Afghanistan in 1989, they were laughing. Why?

Russians were happy about something.

They were happy about going home and not having to fight in a 3rd world dump anymore? They partook of the local cash crop? What?

Someone needs to analyze the bang for our buck factor of hunting down the 125 or so targets.

We spend $1M plus per missile to blow up $30 tents and $2000 pickups while killing a bunch of civilians.

Thats a very simplistic common thinking. War generates other bigger economic advantages that you don't readily realise. Its more than just saying blowing a $1m missile. The production process behind that missile is what's more important and that activity is not outsourced to China or India. Think again.
