History is not about what you could have done, it’s about what was done. The Ethiopian army could have taken Nakfa”, they had more newer weapons, tanks, latest Russian helicopter gunships, mig fighters, and a ratio of 10 to 1 advantage in fighting men! But they failed to take Nakfa and they failed again and again against “Shabia Wombedotch”, who took every encounter with their enemy as an opportunity to strip him of his brand new tanks and artillery and turning it against him at their next meeting! Those Wombedotch had combat maintenance units, mechanics and trained tank crews following attacking forces to collect the hardware and put it into a good use!!
You were fighting the people of Eritrea and the Eritrea mountain ,river hot weather and cold weather. Don't expect to win in a foreign land. France in Vietnam, America in Vietnam, irag, Afghanistan etc, I hope you have a good experience, stop wishing Assab.
