Intro

In this Battle, the Viet Cong, brutal jungle fighters and enemies of the United states during the Vietnam war take on the Mujahideen, fanatical Islamic guerilla fighters who waged war against Soviet Forces in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 in a war sometimes called, "Russia's Vietnam", or "The Bear Trap". Who...Is...Deadliest?!

X-Factors

Extremism- Mujahideen: 90  Viet Cong: 79

The Mujahideen were Islamic extremists who were extremely convicted in the righteousness of their cause. Jihadis even traveled from other countries to fight in the "Afghan Jihad". Some fighters even slept in white tents on open plains, trying to be martyred.

Discipline- Mujahideen: 65 Viet Cong: 80

Disease- Many Russian troops suffered from illnesses they were not immune to when they arrived in Afghanistan, and the Mujahideen were immune to already during the '79-89 invasion.

Endurance- Mujahideen: 85 Viet Cong: 75

The Afghan fighters had to live in a harsh setting/environment given the physical geography of their country.
