    If ever there was a case for “more guns = more freedom”, right?

      Taliban or not, the peasants made it impossible for both Russia and the US to hold for any period of time using a pretty ancient rifle.

        I think the IEDs, suicide bombers, and RPGs made a bigger difference in both cases

          Well, of course it wasn’t just the rifle. But my point was that low-tech armaments (and terrain to an extent) didn’t make it a walk in the park no matter how high-tech your military. You still have to hold it.
