#1 ...the forgotten eastern front...

Wow, it's not like Vietnam, it's like Stalingrad. The similarities are really eerie, except for the fact that one side runs away PDQ.

#2 Actually, I think there will be a decided uptick in violence, because right now Pakistan is throwing the last of its Afghan refugees out, "by the end of June". These a-holes have nowhere to run to. I predict that they will quickly realize that if they are in small groups, the locals will eat them for lunch, so they will form larger, platoon-sized brigand groups. Who will get slaughtered like there is no tomorrow.
