Thanks for the responses. D308, as I told another guy with a similar response, that requires two things to take place: 1) winning the engagement in such a manner that you can get to the fallen to loot them, and 2) having enough time between end of firefight and when the reinforcements arrive to grab enough gear. Its viable, but not a reliable source of supplies.

ConSig, thanks for the link, from what I got from glancing, its a step in the direction this post is about. I will read it in detail over the next couple days, and see if it deals with all that I am asking about.

Asher, thinking on the right path. I agree with what you say on all counts, we are not capable of a static warfare type conflict, we would loose to shear attrition. We won't have the backing of big money, big equipment, etc. Networks of support is about the best we can do.

Now, the most important question of the entire post was the first: How are we going to use the current political loss to our benefit? How are we going to find and get those that are awakening to join the cause? How are we going to wake others?
