Compare the quote you show with the one in the Whalen article: US Army General Charles Dunlop saw the coming wave years ago while serving in Somalia: "I was struck," Dunlop says, "by the resourcefulness, cleverness and fierceness of the Somalis in confronting us" even though they had only primitive weapons and were often starving. Dunlop warns, America underestimates "the combat capability of societies we had considered too resource-poor to challenge us." She uses parts of quotes to create an impression that America underestimates her enemies. This is totally different from the context and the intent of what the General is saying. No point in wasting any more time on her.
