It is noted with sadness the the Journal has deemed it fit to publish the following piece of garbage:

Drawing Lessons from Zimbabwe's War of Liberation: Efficacious Use of Propaganda and Violence

http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art...-of-liberation

It is a well known component of insurgencies that at a point the insurgents take control of the population and exert 'discipline' as a means of "defending the revolution". In many counter insurgencies more civilians are killed by the insurgents.

In Rhodesia we (the military) were both unwilling and unable to cross the line that the insurgents did as a matter of course.

As the publication of this garbage follows on from the publication of that scandalous piece by the Dutch boy in the MR a year (or so ago) it may indicate that US editors are less fastidious than they should be?
