Eye-opening.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-War-Terrorism-Globalization/dp/0471780790<br /><br />Essentially the problem is twofold: <br />1. it's very, very difficult (if not impossible) for conventional forces to defeat a committed guerrilla insurgency. It always takes something else, because they can just wear a conventional force down. & <br />2. you can't win a war if you fight it half-heartedly. Conventional forces are designed for total war. It's what they know how to do. You can't tell them to minimize casualties, protect infrastructure, win hearts & minds, & simultaneously defeat a bunch of hardened guerrillas who don't care what they blow up if it gets them an inch closer to their ultimate goal.Wafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576584961542210952noreply@blogger.com
