Excellent, as usual.
LANGUAGE, AS USUAL:)
Everyone wants articles on cool-guy stuff that fills a higher echelon of
knowledge: “How do I develop an intelligence network? How do I
determine what is intelligence? How do I perform a raid/ambush/precious
cargo recovery operation? Those are all important facets of tactical
knowledge. Unfortunately, what I’ve seen over the better part of the
last year is, most guys don’t even have a real grasp of the most
fundamental individual and common tasks of the light-infantry/irregular.
It’s cool to point out that lots of historical irregular forces didn’t
have “professional” military training. Unfortunately, it’s also wrong.
Insurgencies historically have been developed and led by former military
personnel, because a) we know how the real Army fights, and b) we know
how to develop training to teach the volunteers/militia how to fight.
You HAVE to know the basic individual and common tasks skills, or you’re
going to last about two seconds in a real fight. American Mercenary
recently posted some thoughts on his blog that raised a lot of hackles
in the community, when he pointed out that 20M deer hunters weren’t a
militia. The problem is? He’s fucking spot on, and anyone that doesn’t
see that is speaking out their ass, from either ignorance or arrogance. A
man with a rifle is a man with a rifle. Nothing more. A man with a
rifle, the training to use that rifle in a fight, and a couple of
buddies that are similarly trained, is exponentially more effective in a
gunfight than each of them alone. So, are those 20M deer hunters
useful? Sure. Absolutely. As soon as they wake the fuck up, realize that
the size of their rifle is NOT indicative of the size of their dick,
and get some training, from fucking someone, somewhere, who knows what
the fuck they’re doing. If you don’t want to, cool, make sure you save
me some sunscreen when you get to Hell before me.
