High-tech army defeats insurgency; May I citesome examples?<br /><br />.....<br />"The Brits defeated the Malayan communists, and the US & Philippines<br />defeated the Huks, in the 1960s. The Brits defeated the IRA this month<br />after 25 years and roughly 4,000 deaths. The Red Army Faction,<br />Baader-Meinhof and the Red Brigades are gone. The US killed Che in<br />Bolivia, then helped defeat the communists in El Salvador. The US helped<br />destroy the insurgent Viet Cong in South Vietnam, but then cut off<br />ammunition to the South Vietnamese Army when it was being attacked by<br />the North Vietnamese Army's tank divisions in 1975. The US defeated the<br />Philippines rebels in the early 1900s, and sundry Indian tribes in the<br />1800s.<br /><br />In bloodier wars, the Chinese army defeated the large Tibetan insurgency<br />in the 1960s, after which the Tibetans emphasized the role of<br />non-violence. The Germans defeated the Namibians, the Brits defeated<br />insurgencies many times around the empire including several in Ireland -<br />and the Russians subjugated numerous groups in their vast empire...."<br /><br />RBMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
