Can they do a back flip hatchet throw. I don't think so.

I'm still apalled by the bad assery of that is the flip around upside down on a bungee cord, toss a flashbang, and then commence to unload a clip through a window suspended without even flinching away from thus said flash bang.

Ear plugs + not giving a shit if you can't see?

If you can train people not to flinch when they fire machine and tank guns, you can train them not flinch when a flash bang goes off.

The Taliban repelled the Brits and the The Soviets from Afghanistan. Well, not really the Taliban, but the Pashtun people who make up the majority of The Taliban.

That, or earplugs and protective shades on the goggles/helmet.

I still like the nonflinchingness.

So harhar.

They repelled the Russians after being supplied by the USA in a proxy war. As for the British I have no idea, I haven't read up on that in a long while.

But, in general I think the Taliban fight like women and are only capable of repelling invaders because they can never get their shit together and form or adopt any kind of substantial government. Eventually the belligerent finds the costs of attempting to civilize the region are fruitless. Plus, there is little incentive to conquer and colonize in such a territory; the only reasons I can think of is religious purposes and oil. Apart from that its a fucking desert. If a Westernized nation wanted land like that they could just make a sandbox and play in it.

But, that's just my take on it all.

Honestly, I really cant understand why the West insists on every piece of land on Earth being controlled by some government. IMO, it should just be like Cities and whatever villages want to be associated: call it Kabulstan or whatever. The rest can be called "Internationally Unaffiliated Territory". All those hibhob villagers can have their own little local chiefdom and everyone is happy.

I wish there were a map f de fact control that showed what areas of the world could be controlled by their "jurisdictional authority".

I made a map of de facto world borders once, over on AlternateHistory.com.

I don't think it's exactly what you mean, but it's still kinda interesting.

EDIT-
Not the one I made, but based on my original map, with updates and whatnot. This is supposed the be the de facto world, March 2008.
