In us.military.army where all of the cool guys hang out, someone wrote
on how to lose a war.
QUIT. It's that simple. There are plenty of more complex ways to lose a war, but
none as reliable as just giving up.

When the religious crazies start a war because their way is better
than the other sides, their position is untenable. You may occupy an
area like the Romans did, but as soon as you leave they will go back
to their old ways. Look at the Spanish Basque, how long have they been
resisting.
If you do not learn from history, you are bound to repeat it.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and getting the same negative results everytime.

The Basque will have to move out of the mountains to effect regime
