What *are* you talking about?  There have been people living in Afghanistan
for a very long time.  Of course, the Soviets have managed to kill
and uproot more than 25% of them, but that's irrelevant.

The Navy finds an uninhabited island, decides to use it for a target
range, and *then* other people decide to live there -- and when the Navy
wants them out, Tim compares this to the Soviet extermination policy in
Afghanistan.  I really wish I understood how the man's mind works.
