Nope, I did not "make this up".  I actually was asked to comment on the General McKiernan War Plan To Win Afghanistan while at Afghanistan in Command of A Joint Special Warfare Task Force Afghanistan "Independent" as I had been involved with Afghanistan since CIA Operation Cyclone, 2001 First Attempt CIA Operation Neptune Spear and the 2001 to 2002 Overthrow of the Afghan Taliban Government.  After General McKiernan was Relieved of Command by President Obama, I was asked to comment on the Obama War Plan To Win Afghanistan, identical to the McKiernan War Plan To Win Afghanistan, I had disagreed with both Generals, based on what the U..S.S.R. attempted to do during CIA Operation Cyclone, the minimum number of U.S. Military Combatants (Conventional Warfare Ground Forces) needed would be above a Million, and twice that number of U.S. Military For Logistical Support.
