  • The Taliban and al-queda like to try to paint themselves as defenders of the muslem faith when in fact they are heritics no were in the koran does it say go forth and kill women children or other non combatants there is no honor in this at all. War is to be between warriors the taliban are no warroirs only thugs with guns common criminals who murder thouse that disagree with them.

  • A counterinsurgency is won by utilizing strategic communications and information operations successfully. A counterinsurgency is a competition of ideas, ideologies, and socio-political movements. In order to combat insurgent ideologies one must understand the values and characteristics of the ideology Additionally, counterinsurgency efforts need to understand the culture of which the insurgency resides, in order to strategically launch information and communication operations the ideaology

  • there are many difernt views on how to fight an unconventional opponet the soviets and syrians both tried the same method in 82 syrians were successful the killed 25,000 people and wiped the city of Hama off the map but stopped the muslim brotherhood from formenting civil war until 2011.

  • Ethics is a common public diplomacy aspect that is emphasized in COIN warfare. Insurgents win their war by attacking internal will and the international opposition. In order to combat these tactics the counterinsurgency operations need to treat their prisoners and detainees humanely and according to American values and principles. By doing this, COIN operations show the host nation’s population that they can be trusted and that they are concerned about the well being of the population

  • A victory [in a counterinsurgency] is not the destruction in a given area of the insurgent's forces and his political organization. ... A victory is that plus the permanent isolation of the insurgent from the population, isolation not enforced upon the population, but maintained by and with the population. ... In conventional warfare, strength is assessed according to military or other tangible criteria, such as the number of divisions, the position they hold, the industrial resources, etc.

  • 1.The aim of the war is to gain the support of the population rather than control of territory.

    2.Most of the population will be neutral in the conflict; support of the masses can be obtained with the help of an active friendly minority.

    3.Support of the population may be lost. The population must be efficiently protected to allow it to cooperate without fear of retribution by the opposite party.
