Winning the War in Afghanistan

[William F. Owen]

No it is not new. Mao was just my start point. For a better explanation of evolution read TX's book "The Sling And The Stone" he traces it out rather well I think.

Read the book. Argued with the author. 4GW is a forcing mechanism, that is very comfortable with poor history, and some evidence free statements.

1-It doesn't it is the methods that are different.

2-The problem with the classic definition is both(more) parties could all be Irregular.

1. OK. That makes sense.
2. That's not a problem. It's still Irregular warfare, as in the Congo.
