A Lesson Learned In Tactics Over Time.

The United States Special Forces are highly motivated and highly educated. They have learned a lesson over time. What is that lesson? We are fighting a pure guerilla war. How do we do this? We have limited access to this region. We learn first from the Continental  Army. The British were too large for us to fight head on. So we did ambushes and hit and run attacks. We use this now because we cannot get enough troops in, in a fast amount of time. Next, we have the battle of Little Big Horn. Here General Custer lost because Sitting Bull had pulled all his troops into the caverns and used them as sniping positions. Basically here the enemy was underground. Now I don’t understand why we didn’t learn from this in Vietnam. WW1 and trench warfare. This is the dumbest thing I ever seen. Dig in, hold line, get gassed, run across field die, do it again, all day, every day. And why did we do this? WW2, here we the most to look at. Germany was on the fast track to taking over the world. But they didn’t count on two things, a Russian winter and a sleeping giant. They were slowed by snow and still had summer supplies. The United States entered the war after the Pearl Harbor attack. We split the two opposing to fight on two fronts. Vietnam War we should have learned from the Independence war, the Civil War, and the native Americans. We didn’t, we just bombed the land and shot bullets till we won. All this leads up to now. The war in Afghanistan. We were able to use hit and run attacks. We went looking underground for the enemy. We used the land to our advantage. We learn over time. We learn from others mistakes. Take the time to read by book. It’s a fictional story but you we see I learned from history.
