Soldiers start to behave like Mercenaries and their commanding officers start to act like warlords from another era, from dark ages...

When you wage war on a people, a tribe... In particular when these people have inferior firepower. Guerrilla and terrorism appear.

To use these "unconventional" tactics... You need extremely motivated individuals. They dont really follow a central command. So, there is no leadership to destroy, as the leadership is always an idea that can survive bullets... Like social justice, god's will, independence etc...

If we look carefully, we will see that wars against guerrilla forces are mostly wars against individuals. Against individualism if you want.

Some people are building an "empire". And they have no room for some people in their ideal world. These people can be good or bad people, it doesn't matter... They just dont fit in the picture and someone wants them out.

So I say that if they are still fighting you when you have superior firepower, then it's time to go home. You are not fighting in self defense and it's called aggression.

Eummm, to defeat forces you cant engage with conventional tactics and weapons?
