Good point. So far, we have made about every classic tactical mistake necessary to guarantee a guerilla war is unwinnable for us. We don't seem to be able to help ourselves. Even insisting the guerillas be called "insurgents" was a boldly stupid move, sending a message of dominance that really helped guerilla recruiting and harborage. And don't forget demolition of neighborhoods, restriction of medical care and supplies, "death checks", empty remorse by our leaders when atrocities were exposed, and all the other heavy-handed blunders necessary for a really complete reaping of what we've sown. I hate to see the land I love in such darkness, but I guess it goes with the reaping due when we are greedy, gluttonous, unrepentant, domineering, party-spirited, and proud. It hurts, though.
