And don't think that Afghanistan is a land without culture. The exam for poet title there included knowledge of 2500 authors, the pretentent had to know by heart a few long poems of every one and most of these poems to sing and to play appropriate musical instrument as accompanement. Do you know in your "cultured" surrounding a person, who knows more, than 5000 long poems (as Haiawata) by heart+can sing them correctly +play music for them? I had never seen such. | |

One of the fortunate/unfortunate side effects of modern warfare is that an illiterate, half-starved peasant with a Kalashnikov can successfully fight paramilitary forces (police, militia, etc) or cause trouble for a professional military. Witness Afghanistan. | |

| Jan 29, 2012 at 16:07 | comment | added | Gangnus | It is not sword/gun that kills. The Man does. So, even if I got a Kalashnikov, I have no chance against a veteran soldier of 100 years ago. | |
| Jan 29, 2012 at 9:19 | comment | added | user4951 | +1 still confused though. I mean Yu Fei can defeat juchen cavalry. Then latter ming troops cannot defeat juchen cavalry. What? Ming troops have higher tech. | |
