Yes, communism was a significant issue in the context of the war in Afghanistan, particularly during the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979 to 1989. The Soviet Union intervened to support the communist government in Afghanistan, which faced resistance from various insurgent groups, collectively known as the Mujahideen. This conflict drew international attention and support, particularly from the United States, which provided aid to the Mujahideen as part of its broader Cold War strategy to counter Soviet influence. The war ultimately contributed to the Soviet Union's decline and the rise of various extremist factions in Afghanistan.

Was communism and issue in the Afghanistan war?

If you're talking about the Soviet War (Russian War) in Afghanistan in the 1970s/80s, yes. The US even SUPPLIED Afghan Rebels with anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles to shoot down Russian aircraft with. If you're talking about the US "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan which commenced in October 2001 (because of 9/11) then no. The current military campaign in Afghanistan is to eliminate terrorism...communism no longer became an issue AFTER 1990. Communism still exists, but it's strictly a paper tiger now. No teeth, no meaning.
