Now this is just shit.
While I understand (rather, I don't) the intricacies of Counter insurgency and how it's harder to fix and destroy a force which melds into civilians, I don't get what's taking so long.
Is there a larger force than suspected?
Is there a threat of IEDs?
Are the locals being unruly and disruptive?
Is the AO too large?
I worry but I'm intrigued.
What group is this?
Regular terrorists don't last this long and the the government's keeping a lid on whatever they know.
I can totally see what
@COLDHEARTED AVIATOR meant when he said a handful of terrorists used to hold up entire convoys in the 90s.
He'd have such great inputs to give if you rascals had just been respectful.
Is he on any other forum? Would love to see what he has to say about this.
