You have to use irregulars to fight irregulars, using irregular methods, habits and if necessary, appearance.

I think that this is the means by which small, ‘brush’ wars of the future will be fought successfully by Western powers.

I believe that we should expand our irregular forces at the expense of our regulars. We also need plenty of Arabic speakers.

It’s a waste of time, effort and money to use a Eurofighter technology against a bicycle technology.

I hear what you’re saying, but how often after equipping irregular forces do the powers that did the equipping, find themselves up against the same forces that they equipped and trained?.
