I don’t know about that. The south weren’t “Guerillas”. And they weren’t exactley fighting for their livlihoods, they were fighting for the right to own black people as slaves and make the black people slave their guts out for the white peoples livlihoods so the white people could sit back and do nothing but get drunk and rape their slaves wives and daughters…so as you see they weren’t fighting for a moral cause and got defeated.
#1 Right The South didn’t use Guerilla Type tactics , But you had said before that Guerillas always have passion for what they are fighting for which is why they win. I just disagree, Passion alone isn’t going to win a war for you and I offered the south up as evidence
#2 Slavery was completely the South’s Livelihood. Livelihood doesn’t need a moral cause. All Livelihood is, is your way of life. The South had created a very easy way of life off of unpaid labor and they weren’t about to give that up. Meaning “If slaves go So does their way of life.” 'Cuase southerners weren’t about to do that back breaking labor themselves or Shudder hire someone to do it.
So, Why Yes, Cruel and barbaric, Owning slaves was completely the Souths livelihood. In short, that’s how they made their money.
Our military is structured and has to follow the rules of warfare, whereas Guerillas show, up hit and run, (don’t even care who they hit half the time)
The “don’t care who they hit half the time” DEFINATELY apllies to our military overseas. And at least 50% of the time doesn’t follow the structured rules of warfare.
Not really. We draw up plans for war and we stick to them (it seems no matter what) Guerillas are kind of like american football they call the play before they attack and if things aren’t going well they call an audible whereas american forces don’t call the play right before the attack begins and they certainly don’t call audibles because the chain of command needs to be followed.
and with modern technology the Guerillas don’t even need to be around when they “hit” a unit.
Again this sounds like you’re describing our military…i.e send in a plane and bomb the fuck out of a position we have little or no knowledge of.
Yeah but those plane strikes are usually based on intelligence that is who knows how old…Id’ say the Guerillas are usually quick about their strikes because again there is no real chain of command to be followed. Also they are living in that region and are familiar with the patterns of everyday life in the region. Our strikes are dictated from washington…From people who don’t really know what’s going on.

Correct.
Anyway the goverment doesn’t want these “wars” won, so all’s going to plan.[/reply]
I’ll second that…No Bid contracts for the upper 1%. Yes, war is good for the economy…as long as you’re on that end of the economy…and so few of us are.
