You have unwittingly managed to point out the advantage of the insurgents. No the insurgents have smaller forces, while the US has large armies and a very large population. "Phyrrus' losses were severe and replacement soldiers where not available, or not available in sufficient quantity for his force to continue to have sufficient numbers and power to face up to his enemy." Nah....we don't have that problem...LOL. Our army isn't shrinking because of our losses. The losses are tiny compared to the size of the army, and still tinier compared to the size of the population. Phyrrus didn't just have some issues with recruitment. His total stock of theoretically available manpower was to low, and his armies couldn't maintain themselves through the Phyric victories. If you don't have heavy losses you don't have phyrric victories. We haven't had heavy losses.
