This is basic UW a fast approaching forgotten art thanks to COIN Psycho-Syndrome. This is what we should have been doing, indeed we did do it on a grander scale in 2001.

This is basic UW a fast approaching forgotten art thanks to COIN Psycho-Syndrome. This is what we should have been doing, indeed we did do it on a grander scale in 2001.

But, Slapout, if we did something like this recommends, soldiers might be in danger! They might get attacked, they might get their supplies cut off, they might have to use locally available food, weapons, and ammunition, and they might not have readily available access to Gatorade!

Surely, all of those things are much more important than creating any viable long-term solutions to instability in rural areas of Afghanistan...
