13 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>, est \u00e9galement int\u00e9ressant par la personnalit\u00e9 du t\u00e9moin, dont on ne sait, finalement, de quel c\u00f4t\u00e9 il se situe aujourd’hui, pour ou contre les Am\u00e9ricains. (Mais la question est sans doute th\u00e9orique. On imagine qu’il n’a plus aucune activit\u00e9 de combattant puisqu’il nous est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme amput\u00e9 d’une jambe et des deux bras depuis ses combats contre les Russes.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tDans tous les cas, peu flatteur ni encourageant par comparaison pour les Am\u00e9ricains, quand on songe au peu d’estime o\u00f9 l’on tenait les combattants sovi\u00e9tiques dans les ann\u00e9es 1980.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abIt was really fun to fight with the Soviets [in the 1980s], but not so with the Americans. I remember once, three Soviet soldiers were besieged by mujahideen. They were injured and they had the chance to retreat and be airlifted. But they refused and fought till their last. They had a certain level of conviction. The Americans do not have this, Khuda-i-Rahim told Asia Times Online.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbKhuda-i-Rahim is a veteran commander. He lost a leg, both arms and some sight in a bomb explosion in Kandahar while fighting against Russian troops. He spent some time in the US in the 1980s and now lives in Baghran in the northernmost district of Helmand province. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThey [Americans] hear the sound of a single bullet fired in the air and they do not dare to go to the place where the bullet was fired. The Russians stayed in Afghanistan for 11 years because of their conviction, but against the determination of the Afghan resistance they finally withdrew. I don’t see a chance that once there is a national uprising like the one against the Russians, the Americans will stay for a few months, said Khuda-i-Rahim.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
