To my mind, this is why the rebels are on Hoth in the second film. Of course, the American people wouldn’t have accepted that course of action and the Afghans and Pakistanis knew it. Pakistan would be a lot more hesitant to shelter them. Imagine if we’d just nuked every town in Afghanistan in 2001.
One key part of our strategy, preventing the Taliban from sheltering inside Pakistan, has failed completely because so many Pakistanis welcome the Taliban. Did these stormtroopers have problems with blaster fire accuracy?Īs America has learned in recent years, chasing down rebels is hard.
