1: Everybody has censored media. 2: Happens all the time 3: Rather hard to win a war without fighting to the finish, if you dont fight to the finish you end up with peace ( in some form ).
I see... the US doesn't have perfect media freedom, North Korea doesn't have perfect media freedom, therefore the US is like North Korea? No.
Generally out media is pretty free though, for the fact I can start up a blog or print out fliers no matter how far left/right/up/down it seems and say near anything I want
4. Generate world wide apathy from other foreign nations by showing demonstrators as "rebels" and depict them as violent warriors on VIDEO to further your milita's cause. 5. All your base are belong to us. 6. Cut off rebel weaponry supply, rations supply, mess up their line formation, yadda yadda. That's how you win wars and conflicts - by cutting the legs from under people.
Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.- Tacitus To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. Oxford Revised Translation Wars can be won if the effort is made but the price can be high on both sides. The question I’d ask is why the war is been fought in the first place? I have no love for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam but a lot of there support seems to have been based on genuine grievances. And if the victors don’t address those then the problem is unlikely to go away.
^ man that guy gets pissed off at planet America But we're all forgetting the most important way to win a war -Get Chuck Norris on your side end of war
Couldn't the native americans fighting against the white man be considered a gorilla war? How to win a gorilla war? Get most folks on your side... But, everybody fighting in a war has already lost.
Hell the American Revolution to a point can be considered a guerilla war, the British were not use to being ambushed in the woods by a bunch of militia who would then just run off. People were supposed to stand in lines and shoot at each other, that's the gentlemen way to fight a war
The indian wars were pretty conventional wars. And by the end so were many "guerilla wars" - i.e. Vietnam and Sri Lanka. Yes but the Americans won. My point is that there is a myth that you can't win against guerillas and insurgencies, but in fact it can and has been done. But it sure doesn't look like the Sri Lankans did it through openness and respect for human rights.
Without France the "americans" would of lost. It was not a guerrilla war. It was a formal war with some guerrilla actions. p.s. it's guerrilla
