Qualities of any good guerilla soldiers, to be sure. That the Defense department did not anticipate this is criminal negligence, IMO. These guys have lifetime of combat experience to draw on. Did they really think that a lack of twenty-first century military technology would render them incompetent? NEWSFLASH: Lack of supplies can be used as a strategic strength. We learned that in Viet Nam. We modeled our Lightfighter Divisions (25th ID, 10th Mountain, and at least a third that I can't remember right now) after the North Viet Nam Army. Lack of equipment means you are incredibly mobile and versatile. High-Tech and armed to the gills is great, unless you come to rely on it. Guerilla soldiers let their enemies supply them.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
