Doug, you are walking past a bank on main street and suddenly two men come running out of the bank. They are waving guns and have bags that money is falling out of. They jump in a car at the curb and speed off, taking a right at the corner.
You realize that you have just witnessed a bank robbery when a cop car pulls up at the curb and a cop asks you “Which way did they go?”
You now have 3 choices; Right, Left or I didn’t see. Two of those choices help the bank robbers.
So it is with 4th generation warfare ( or insurgency, guerrilla, revolutionary, what ever you wish to call it). There are no neutrals in 4th generation warfare. That is it’s strength. Anyone trying to be neutral is actually aiding the enemy. The act of not getting involved gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
This is a fact and has been true for thousands of years.
Nothing you can do will change that. Anything except fighting the enemy will help them. Negotiating is treason, because you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy. One day you will grow up and realize this. How will you feel then about having helped terrorists murder innocent people?
