Based on personal experience hunting armed men in jungle is a very difficult job with a pucker factor of about 9.9. Good luck and God Bless.
Don't get me wrong, I'm for it and it'll work. Any one out there old enough to remember the war against the Huks in the Phillipines several decades ago.

I think that was 100 years ago- shrotly after the Spanish American war- and it was a brutal nasty war with atrocities committed on both sides.

The PI has deforested approximately 80% of the trees since 1982, accroding to a Philippino Girl I know, and this tracks with one of the tree-hugger reports last year as well (hear say at this juncture). Most of this Islamic behavior is confined to different areas; one sure sign they are present if the rag-heads in villages in the sweaty jungle.... don't need armor pearcing rounds for snipers who normally content with combatants wearing helmets:)
