The Invasion of Afghanistan

The soviet leadership was extremely reluctant to become entangled in afghanistan. The urban, cosmopolitan political elite of the rural and agrarian nation of afghanistan began a series of reforms that hoped would bring their country into the modern era. In turn, these young afghan alites brought communism back to their country. Just 13 years ago, the soviet army appeared to be invincible, but charley, undeterred, engineered a lethal body blow that weakened the communist empire. Without charley, history would be hugely and sadly different.
