I refuse to believe that the Americans would ever have died in a normal fight with the Taliban unless there was some heavy=duty cheating going on.

Reminds me of a news item a couple years ago where a shark off the coast of California, I think it was, killed a diver and the experts stated it probably happened because the diver was wearing a wet suit and was mistaken for a seal. Experts know that sharks don’t eat humans, only if they look like seals.

Never underestimate the hunger of sharks or the combat skills of the enemy, especially a lot of the enemy. Look up George Armstrong Custer on the web.
