Wolverines = Taliban
Basically the same.
Nobody Makes Me Bleed My Own Blood!

We never launched a terrorist attack in Kabul or Baghdad.
There were dozens of Iraqi civilians killed by missiles that missed their targets, possibly as many or more Iraqi military, and no U.S. or British casualties

yeah, pretty much. Altho to me, the only possible moral difference is the question of whether civilians were targeted, how much effort was made to avoid hurting them, etc. And I don't think the U.S. military cares whatsoever about civilian casualties.

the wolverines were basically an American teen aged version of the taliban. Please remember, in 1984, we were supporting, arming, and training the Taliban in their fight against the russian invaders.
The Wolverines were an armed insurgency, but with entirely different motivations. Had they kicked out the Soviet invaders, they wouldn't have started defacing ancient art and imposed strict religious laws against women.
They say "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", but it really depends on the targets you attack. One is guerilla warfare, the other is terrorism.
I love the Wolverines, not the Towel Band.
shareIf the Taliban would strictly stay on their own soil and kill invaders and traitors, i would see no difference.
I don’t need you to tell me how good my coffee is..

I guess I missed the bit where the Wolverines wanted to impose a world-wide mediaeval, totalitarian, theocracy like the Taliban and its Al Qaeda allies. I also missed the bit in the film where they said the Wolverines were one faction in an on-going civil war when the Soviets invaded as well as the bits where they punished Americans for flying kites, not wearing beards of an appropriate length, not wearing burkas, or getting an education.
