I do that at times. But when you miss one target, you sometimes nail another one nearby. Close does not only count in horseshoes; it works for hand grenades too.

Fighting a guerilla war against an occupying force is a tough nut especially if your force isn’t trained and organized.
Just so. And yet, some peoples have been doing so instinctively for generations. And with a couple years of training and some careful professional study, twelve American Special Forces troopers can take around 3000 sufficiently motivated but untrained locals and turn them into an irregular force that can tie down ten times their number. Those numbers can vary with circumstances and doctrinal changes, of course, but were the rule of thumb when I was wearing a green hat.
