      They used similar tactics to everyone in WWII. The human wave thing was partly derived from the accounts of ex-Nazis who were sore losers, AskHistorians had an answer about it. I don’t know about Afghanistan, but that was a different kind of war.

      Now, yeah. And it’s going about as well as you’d expect.
