Patton's second rule of warfare "ATTACK!" is great when you command the U.S. Third Army but since all the militia has are scattered bands of irregular volunteers we need a different strategy. The militia can’t win by fighting an invading enemy toe to toe on their terms with conventional warfare. You pick and choose your battles until the enemy bleeds out from a thousand cuts. You win with hit and run guerrilla warfare tactics keeping the enemy engaged on hundreds of simultaneous fronts so they never know when, where, or from what direction they will be struck from next.

I am looking forward to J. Croft’s next installment and I hope he illustrates examples of sound tactics that we all can learn from.
