Estimates of numbers of Afghan civilians killed, maimed and displaced as a result of Soviet occupation are widely available.

But of course, we all know that the real truth is that the Soviet army just strew daisies and rose petals about the countryside and never hurt a fly. Sure the Soviets killed people there, it was war after all. Btw, where one can't find the estimates you've mentioned to compare them with your achievments in Afghanistan?

And the NA weren't individual citizens "under" Taleban rule - they are/were well organized and equipped ethnic militias loyal to their individual leaders. True.
Perhaps it's my bad English, but doesn't a territory controlled by "well organized and equipped ethnic militias loyal to their individual leaders" and not loyal to central government (the Taliban), considered as rioting province?
