This is one of the very discouraging things, this total lack of understanding, by most Americans, of how guerrilla wars are fought, how these wars are won and lost.

Uh.. maybe you've forgotten where "Indian Fighting" was first developed??

The British were very frustrated at the manner in which the American colonists fought their forces during the American revolution.... It just wasn't "cricket"..

And they way many British officers tried to stifle it was through repression of the local population and civilian atrocities.

Of course, the American forces did the same thing with Indian tribes...

No... I would say that we have considerable experience with guerilla warfare. We just keep forgetting the lessons because we've become "civilized"..
