>Tactics of the Crescent Moon wouldn't have been required reading aboard Stateside infantry bases, if it didn't fully describe the Islamists' method. Those who would become the next generation of American warrior should be careful to which multi-tour veteran they now listen. Some may never have been infantrymen or special operators. Others may now work for a public-affairs extension of "the military industrial complex." That complex is in no hurry to tell anyone about how poorly their expensive equipment has fared in the absence of small-unit maneuver. More useful might have been a little free "in-unit" tactical experimentation. It takes light-infantry tactics to do well at 4GW. Since the latter stages of WWII, America has had only "line" infantry. Its "modern" equivalent travels mostly by truck and fights mostly with supporting arms. Tactics of the Crescent Moon provides the full background and particulars of the Islamists' still viable method with the emphasis on its martial component. It is a heavily researched, well-illustrated, and spell-binding account of how Muslim militants continue to befuddle the West.
All of the 4th/5th GW applies here, and mere 'kill your enemy', especially combined with 'disproportionate use of force' only radicalizes the bystanders until every one is your enemy.
You can't rule a nation or corpses, nor will an militarily subjugated people ever make good productive slaves or even happy countrymen. Genuinely fascinating read and insightful into psyche as well as guerilla tactics.
