I am saying that guerrilla tactics succeed because we allow them to succeed. If enemy fighters are going to hide amongst civilians, they bear more responsibility than we do when civilians die. The point is that our military is top notch. We can defeat anyone we choose to defeat. The problem isn't that we can't win in Afghanistan, as goober likes to pretend is the truth. The problem is that there are far too many liberals who won't let us win in Afghanistan, because winning that type of war is particularly messy.
