A Re-Think On Guerilla Warfare; Cannot Beat Them, Join Them

It has recently occurred to me to think the unthinkable. We seem to be having some rather unfortunate issues with trying to put down an insurgency in Iraq that is being sponsored now through another nation state. Iran is giving armored piercing RPG rounds to Iraqi insurgence and Syria and Iran are both harboring and supporting international Terrorist organizations killing US Military men and women.

Let me give you a bit of background on my thinking on this. Not too many years ago, I met a gentleman in Colorado Springs, an instructor at the Air Force Academy there, very bright guy. We had a great discussion on F-86 fighter pilot Colonel Boyd's Book on "Guerilla Warfare" and how that relates with political differences of agreement. We sat in the local Starbucks for about an hour or so.

Colorado Spings, CO, has some interesting folks, living there, who work at the Air Force Academy. We actually helped clean a static display aircraft that they painted "Red" for a joke and then had to have our franchisee come clean off the water color paint before a big inspection from top brass. I am retired from the Aircraft Wash Guys.

Now then my thoughts are this, if these nation states will not stop causing these international terrorist events on our troops, then may as well take these tactics to the enemy and see how they like it. Because rather than sitting like ducks out there, why not show them the same horrific view? The Air Force Academy instructor hated the idea, even though it really is fighting fire with fire.

I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
