Nothing the enemy does is militarily significant, but the main point of guerilla warfare against a democratic Western nation is to inflict psychological and political defeats, with military objectives only secondary, in this case very remotely so. The insurgents know our tolerance for casualties is so low that every soldier they kill chips away at our confidence, and it simultaneously boosts their own confidence.

Welcome to the world of 4th-generation warfare as practiced by militants of the Islamic world.

Any opinion about how this will play out?

Yeah, I know, it's just that sometimes I get pissed off that I live in a nation full of wusses.
