For the last few posts I was trying to understand, with a help of a man that have so precise intel and knowladge of war itself, how can terrorism be a very big factor in all guerrilla wars. I must admit that I was pretty amazed to see that kind of sentence.
AK??? Did you mean Alaska? Damn, I'm speechless...What can I say...I can only regret that the french underground is better known than the largest underground army in the history of mankind. An Army that represented the largest organised and complete underground state. AK= Armia Krajowa (transl. Home Army).
You are attempting to make equate the terrorists in Chechnya and the underground movement in France.
No, I don't. You do.
For your information terrorism is a very big factor in all guerrilla wars.
Chechnya has been a part of Russia for a couple of hundred years, and the Chechens were not the founders of Chechnya.
Poland has been a part of foreing powers for a quite some time too. Does it mean we don't deserve to live free?
Through control of the population. Most peasants are afraid to support the government or be neutral because they know the government will leave after a patrol or at night and the terrorists will walk in.
The Vietcong used to butcher whole villages as examples to the rest of the population. Even in the American revolution there were isolated cases of terror against the 1/3rd of the population loyal to the Crown. During the Indian wars in America, there were terror acts against civilians of both the settlers and the indians and that went on for 200 years.
