Today's Lesson about winning

Executive Outcome v. Planned Failure

A true story

Message from the Lord High Commandant   I watched last night on one of the Hitler Channels (History International) a documentary, "Soldiers for Hire."  While I was tangentially  aware of the Sierra Leone and Angola guerrilla wars in the 90's, I knew nothing about the role Executive Outcome played.  E.O. was a private paramilitary force that contracted their services to recognized gummints.  I was obviously struck by what I saw, and you may be too.  There are lessons to be learned, and beliefs to be validated in this episode. Namely, that a very small force of trained and dedicated men can triumph over an opponent hundreds of times bigger. And there's another example, as if we need it, of the United Nation's worthlessness. Yet, these same people who snatched defeat from victory in Sierra Leone, now control our policy, and with it strategy and tactics, in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The outcome is predictable unless things are changed PDQ.
