Each war is fought believing the circumstances of the previous war are still true for the new one.

Statement used to explain British losing to ragtag untrained colonials’ guerilla warfare.

And Vietnamese standoff against the WWII style set piece battles from the Americans for the first years of the war.

Admittedly, a high firepower helicopter against patriots fighting to stay out of the Dem/Soros concentration camps with 2nd amendment weapons on their front lawns is unfair.
But so is the sudden ending of certain government agents as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said should have been done at the start by ordinary citizens before it was too late.

May God protect us.

P.S. Will the FReeper who used to post the meme by Solzhenitsyn about that please pot it again. I can’t locate the quote. Thanks in advance.

I just posted that one minute ago on another thread:

"...And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward..."
