Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostVERY difficult -- they are entrenched in cities, and "urban warfare" is one of the most challenging types of warfare.

It would HAVE to be a situation where we gained the confidence of the locals to know that we are "in it to win it", and we are NOT projecting that image.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
