In Afghanistan's violent Helmand province, an American special-forces captain... analyzed his furtive Taliban enemies as thus: "They're cowards. Why don't they step up and fight like men?" Apparently, he had not considered how he might fight if he had no armor, no radio, an ancient rifle and the sure knowledge that if he fought like a man, he would be obliterated in minutes.
