re: #87 Belafon

Here’s why the smaller force is winning:

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, we have thrown weapons at leadership we have wanted to win, but when they don’t want to, you can’t make them win. OTOH, when a side wants to win, you can give them the chance.

Case in point: Afghanistan. We spent 20 years and hundreds of billions of dollars arming and training the army, and it surrendered to the Taliban before we even completed the withdrawal.
