The Soviets committed only 90,000 troops at any one time (a total of 650K served over the course of the war) to Afghanistan. They claimed to be there at the request of the Afghan Gov to assist them and not to be there to take over the country. In fact, they took over the capital and never moved into the countryside after.
90K out of 1M+ less than 9 percent of their Army. Doesn't sound like TOTAL war to me. How about you?
