Rather they had Stingers or not? I see no proof. I see lots of hearsay. Heck, maybe a covert op killed Kennedy, who knows. I bet you could find a picture of it somewhere too.

I'll give you that one, who knows, maybe they had top secret Phaser Guns too.
Your location says California...are you sure you don't need a permit before you pile that much straw?
Yet you seem to know quite a bit of Afghanistan's history it would appear.
Only because this is one instance where Afghani history and American history intersect. Aside from that my knowledge of Afghani history is sketchy at best.
At any rate, the point of my OP was that determined citizens with bolt action rifles were able to successfully fight an insurgency against aggressors with modern weaponry.
But see, if they had weapons other than bolt-action rifles (and they did), your point holds a little less weight. They weren't bringing down Hinds with bolt-action rifles. Stingers or no (again, a mountain of evidence...though not "proof" by your standards...points to yes) they still had access to a lot of weaponry aside from bolt-action rifles...and most of which didn't seem to be manufactured in their country. At least some of it may have been captured from Soviet troops, but again a mountain of evidence suggests that not all[ of it was.
I'll never understand why people feel the need to exaggerate when the truth is impressive enough on its own.
And again, I'm still wondering what you would accept as proof, short of an Afghan insurgent with a Stinger in his hands (in person) or original copies of classified documents. If everybody required the standard of proof you seem to be asking for, the history books would be awful thin.
