Law 1.
If there is an army that wants stuff, the only thing that will stop it from getting stuff is a superior army.

Well, long-term delay land mines and biological/radiological weapons help. I am reminded of the Finnish woman who spent the night scrubbing her floor before Finnish soldiers came to burn it down the next the night day; the Keralian Peninsula had been ceded to the Soviet Union and the Finns left nothing usable for them to enjoy. When one gives their home for their country she is reported to have said, You want it to be as nice a gift as possible. It was not simply a gesture.

Law 2.
Contrary to Hollywood movies, a few guys do not constitute an army. No matter how good their equipment is.

True. However, there ARE force multipliers, and there are technicians who can accomplish results WAY outside that of sheer numerical strength.

Law 3.
If an army wants your stuff, and you are not part of a superior army, see laws one and two.

But don't forget to leave them some nice surprise packages as well. Even if you are long gone, that can be the gift that keeps on taking.

Law 4.
If you do not like any of these laws, reality doesn’t care.

Concur. Don't break those laws. But sometimes, you can work around them. And if Those Other People don't like it, I don't care.
