"MYTH NUMBER FIVE:
Afghans have always beaten foreign armies, from Alexander the Great to modern times.
Afghan history is certainly littered with occasions when foreign invaders were humiliated on the battlefield. But there have also been many cases when foreign armies penetrated the country and inflicted major defeats. In 330 BC, Alexander the Great marched his troops successfully through the area of Central Asia that is now Afghanistan, meeting little serious opposition. On his way he founded the city of Kandahar, naming the new settlement after himself. He then moved on to the Indus valley in the north of the subcontinent. In the winter of 327 to 326 BC, he returned and fought the powerful clans of the Kunar and Swat valleys in what are eastern Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan today. Although he suffered wounds in the shoulder and ankle, he and his troops overcame all resistance and sacked the enemies’ forts."
