UW (and its alter-ego FID)
I like this concept. With your permission Sir.

Patriot,
There is a veritable plethora of examples of the question you ask.

I suggest you begin with Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife by Nagl. Try the COIN sources thread and the other threads in the Insurgencies & Guerrilla Warfare forum here on PS.com. Do your homework then come back to this thread and tell us what you think the role for conventional forces is in UW. You will never learn anything if you are given answers.

The Colonel has already warned you of several pitfalls, so take heed.

I will move this thread to the Insurgencies & Guerrilla Warfare forum, where it belongs.

This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?
