It Never Fails
The latest weapon: high explosive rocket-propelled propane tanks.
The use of the rocket-propelled bombs reflects militiamen's ability to use commonly available materials and relatively low-tech weaponry to circumvent security measures that have cost the U.S. military billions of dollars.
Human ingenuity seems boundless when it comes to fighting. 9-11 was a pretty simple job, too. That's why empires are always vulnerable.

i got an email from the sgt major on the eastern front. his unit saw their first action and it went perfectly 45 infiltrators killed. zero u.s. casualties.
i pointed out some things (because i'm such a pooper and stuff)
the guys they killed were in the process of making a 200km march in shower shoes, and were packing their supplies and ordinance on burros.
they do not hold the pass, or the battlefield. there are plenty of burros and lots of shower shoes in the waziri.
even genocide is not an option with these kind of guys. a total kill off will buy you 12 to 15 years max. then their kids will be coming.
The same thought came to me in 1971 when my unit discovered a food cache in the jungle. We were fighting guys who hid food under rocks in the woods. All of our technology and might wholly impotent against a simple, dedicated foe defending his homeland.
