    Well said. Terrorist, Hardliners, Insurgents, or what ever you wish to call them only need to put you in a no win situation. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Thats all they need. However, if you can flip those tables, and put them in that situation by varying kinetic and non-kinetic operations, you can force them to make mistakes and become slopy. Thats how will when. Further, this is what or military needs to relize. I think it is happening a little, but allot of my peers in the officer corps still have along way to go on this issue.
