Inho you should be just as aware that before reform a war has to be won. As long as terrorist are in control there can be no change. SO why would bin Laden want a war with the world. Becasue he believes we are weak and he can win. Certain things about war that our military I hope is is very cognizant of and have train our troops in might be some of the weaknesses that bin Laden is relying on.
Culture: I was trained to be culturally oriented so that I did not end up being my own worst enemy because of cultural ignorance. I would bet you’re the military is definitely exposing the troops to the Islam culture. Same as they did in the Gulf war. My brother was in the Gulf war and he was firmly told not to insult or mistreat Arabs, they would become warriors or support the opposing forces. You can never underestimate the affect of religion on the conflict.
Who are the Terrorists: Also like in Vietnam and Korea, I believe in calling a Holy War, the US has even more a complicated scenario because there will be no way to some how of sort out active warriors from civilians. The Holy War warriors will not be in fancy uniforms and organized units same as in Vietnam. In Vietnam searching the pockets and believe it or not but sniffing for the smell of gunpowder and gun oil was crude but effective sometimes.
Resourcefulness of the Terrorist: In this war I expect the Holy War warriors to exploited the use of cell phones, Motorola radios, improvised TV stations, lightweight video cameras and the Internet to obtain vital war information. Also snipers, booby-traps and ambushes, not to mention hand-to-hand, will play a big part of this Holy War. These Holy Warrior have trained all their lives for this war where our military is soft fraught with liberal attitudes that the meek will inherit the earth concept..
Training/Experience in Warfare: You should also remember that the USA trained the Taliban in warfare against the Russians and pointed out their weakness which the Islam exploited very efficiently such as perimeter defenses, security, distances between units. poor shots, and other tactical weak points.
physical and Mental Condition:Question is if the US military who has not lived training daily for a Holy War have the physical and mental condition of the Islam warriors. They live on the ground and in caves and live off the land. They are far from being spoiled. That is another edge the Bin Laden has considered also. He has studied the weaknesses of our society and our war tactics from previous wars. Heck we taught them our tactics from Vietnam and other wars not to mention the history of wars the Islam’s have fought and learned from with lives lost.
Warfare Attitude: Americans better not be surprised by the ferocity and brutality of the Islams either. Our military fighting men better understand that the Islam strength is strong combined mobile arms teams with flexible commands and control.
Bottom line this will be a war like no other … A Holy War. (Terrorism with no rules vs the world). IMHO
