Learning From Others Experiences

• Soviet Experience in Afghanistan (1980).
  However, often our people, acting out of their
  best intentions, tried to transplant the approach
  we are accustomed to onto the Afghan soil,
  encouraged the Afghans to copy our ways. All
  this did not help our cause, it bred the feelings
  of dependency on the part of the Afghan leaders
  in regard to the Soviet Union both in the sphere
  of military operations and in the economic
  sphere.

  Soviet Union. May 10, 1988

Malayan Crisis (1948 1960)

• The population should be protected and isolated
  from the guerrillas.
• This will be achieved by
• Dominating the populated areas to build up a
  feeling of complete security therein which will
  in time result in a steady flow of information
  coming in from all sources.
• To break up the communist organization within the
  populated areas.
• To isolate the bandits from their food and
  information supply organizations which are in the
  populated areas.
• To destroy the bandits by forcing them to attack
  us on our own ground.

of a ship, which illuminates only the track it
has passed. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
