Yeah, what a fascinating war that was. Maybe a thread about it sometime. This situation is somewhat similar. The mujahideen(sp?) would make attacks then warp into the Afghan population. Of course the Soviets would take the bait and start cleansing.

The situation in Vietnam could be compared to that also, but in my mind and on paper the Soviet killings/tactics,etc don't even come close.
