When the last Soviet troops finally withdrew from Afghanistan on February 15, 1989, the soldiers rejoiced. The last ten years had been nothing more than a dangerous exercise in abject futility, which had long been the bane of foreign armed forces invading the rugged, difficult terrain of Afghanistan in order to attempt to subjugate the warlike peoples therein.
