PARIS: One Taliban fighter is clad in the bulletproof vest of a dead
French soldier. Another proudly shows off a French walkie-talkie. Yet
another wears a camouflaged French Army helmet.
A glossy six-page photo spread published Thursday and featuring a
group of insurgents who say they killed 10 French soldiers in
Afghanistan on Aug. 18 has reinforced uneasiness about France's
military presence there.

OMG go look at every afghan in all history and see where they got the
weapons in every picture they are wearing and carrying weapons taken
off the last invaders , see national geographics magazine coverage of
Russian weapons captured in the 1980s

Of the 16,000 people that left Kabul only one regiment, the 44th was
actually British. Another 4000 were Indian troops and the remaining
10,000 their families and other camp followers. During the withdrawal
they were attacked by Ghilzai tribesmen and in running battles through
the snowbound passes nearly all were massacred. Of the British only
one, Dr Brydon, reached Jalalabad,

Afghans are still using the weapons they took off dead brits in the
1800s
almost every weapon in Afghanistan was paid for by western taxpayers
and stolen from dead western or Russian soldiers and has been like
for thousands of years since Alexander tried to occupy Afghanistan
and collapsed ancient Greece trying
go look in old pictures going back hundreds of years , almost every
afghan gun was taken off a dead occupation army , and you can still
buy rifles captured from Brits in 1878 that are still in use in Kabul
markets
national geographic has hundreds of full page colour pics of afghans
all carring weapons taken from dead Russians
guess who always wins in the end see pics
