If America unleashed its full arsenal then you'd turn the entire planet against you. You can't just ignore politics when looking at military campaigns.

Korea is when America properly failed for the first time, but only recently have Americans realised that the reason why they've lost in the past isn't because of others failings but because of their failings.

Losing in Korea and Vietnam was blamed on commies infecting the American administration and using their mind beams to weaken the president. So the red scare sorted them out. 9/11 was blamed on loose security, so the Patriot Act sorted that out.

Truth is, you didn't lose in Korea or Vietnam because of communists in America. It was because no one in the US administration had a clue about Indo-China or Korea. 9/11 wasn't the result of lack security - the bombers had perfect ID and would still be able to board planes today.

well, their guerilla tactics are cowardice.

That makes me cry, and laugh at the same time.....

why should the ethics of war be written by the western nations?

It is NO COINCIDENCE, that these nations promote army v army combat and consider anything else as cowardly (they are the ones with the strong military)

Such a perfect example, is of Terrorism -- Personally, I support it, am I about to get flamed for that belief?

probably.

I PITY YOUR NARROW-MINDEDNESS

The truth is what money can be made from a lie.

the article for the most part isn't bad.

The Us military knew for years that urban combat was a severe weakness. Previous simulations following Operation desert storm had 60% casulities. The insurgents are merely showing us something we already know.

Lalique, no guriella tactics are used by a inferior force aganist a superior force to equate the tatical and stragetic differences. The colonists used guerilla tactics aganist the British. Hell, we lost many of the standing fights aganist the British. You don't hit a enemy where they are strongest. That is suicide.

I just fucked up the entire eighth fleet of the Archadian empire in final fantasy XII so I can relate to this article.

I fucked up a huge chaos army in DOW: Dark Crusade so I can relate as well.

5 fully armed Chaos Marine squads, 3 defilers, 1 chaos lord, 1 chaos sorcerer, 3 cultists squads, chaos predator, 2 demon squads all went toast to a small Tau force. God I love artillery.
