Reply to comment by MaximumEffort433 in Russia recruiting U.S.-trained Afghan commandos, vets say by 29PiecesOfSilver

They didn’t forget, they never learned. It was a total cultural and technological mismatch, and it would have taken a few generations to really work.

All Russia is going to get are possible US assets in their ranks and a bunch of guys with no loyalty and a lot of historical loathing for Russians.
