The US military has performed poorly in every guerrilla war they've participated in. Your chances of success are better than you think.

- dragonwriter 9y ago> The US military has performed poorly in every guerrilla war they've participated in. They've done pretty well in every one they've fought within the territorial boundaries of what is now the US. Farther afield, less so.

- dragonwriter 9y agoThey weren't the guerillas in the Indian Wars.
- Semirhage 9y agoNor did they do particularly well, or fight it alone. You’re talking about a couple of hundred years of fighting at least, more like three hundred. I’m sure that given a similar time frame, the US could “win” in Iraq too.
