The Patton of Counterinsurgency

[Adam L]

If anyone ever thought anything different from the utterly banal statements of the obvious in this quote, then they need to resign from the Army and go and work in Starbucks.

If someone really did not recognise these fundamental facts then someone really screwed up. Of course this is how Insurgents work. Always have, always will. Look at Rhodesia, look at Mao, look at the IRA, etc etc etc.

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say. I lacked the courage to be so blunt/direct.
