The Afghan Freedom Fighters are at a disadvantage militarilythey are forced to use old Enfield rifles or whatever they can capture from the enemy. The tragedy of the war increases with Soviet use of "yellow rain" and other biologicalchemical warfare against the civilian population. As many as 1 million Afghan men. women. and children may have been killed and countless more have been wounded. As many as 3 million have been driven from their homes and are living in the many refugee camps in Pakistan. In comparison. that would be equivalent to 16 million Americans dead and nearly 50 million driven from their towns and villages and into Canada and Mexico. And yet. in spite of this. they fight on.
