Fights and disappears in to civilian life with a gun hidden under
the floorboards.

"strength" is measured, more in will, than in military capability,
as the latter can always be learned. With the will power, a person
can be trained to kill with an index finger to the jugular in a
single blow.

How strong is the will of a people who've already taken 1000's in
repression from the US-saddam alliance? How do you keep an entire
nation imprisoned against their will in to a social model which
they reject. Occupying powers do not win such colonial wars.
Ask britain, ask france, ask belgium, ask portugal, sweden, holland
and spain. The guerilla's sap the will to fight from an imperial
power who has less will to control the conuntry, than the country
to be free.

Anyone remembering their teenage years, and what lengths they were
prepared to go to fight their war of indpendence from their parents..... there is no way to repress a teenager except to kill
them.
