They are using poison gas. napalm. aircraft fighter bombers. and rocket firing helicopter gunships and tanks. These are what the men. women. and children of Afghanistan face with their Enfield rifles. their Molotov cocktails. knives. and yes. stones. When the Soviets have cleared an area. killing its people. driving them out. they poison the wells. They saturate the earth with chemicals so that nothing might ever grow there again. At least 3 million people out of its population of 15 million have either died or fled as refugees within or without the country. That is an enormous percentage of the population of the nation. The Soviets are actively destroying the Afghan nation.
