Watched a movie on Netflix last night called 12 Strong. It is the story of the 1st group of operators on the ground in Afghanistan post 9-11. They were partnered with group of local tribesmen that were part of the northern alliance who fought on horseback and despite not being a mounted regimen, they rode borrowed afghan horses and dealt a major blow to Al Quaida and took a stronghold in 3 weeks rather than the 3 months the DOD expected it to take.
Interesting perspective given that we have abandoned Afghanistan. The Afghan General they fought with has a poignant moment calling Afghanistan the graveyard of empires. The US suffered the same fate as every other empire that has attempted to tame Afghanistan
