If anything infantry is long dead
It died in the napoleonic wars
Its all about guerilla operations
and I tell you what, guns are regulated like hell
but hunting crossbows?
nada
Guerrilla warfare involves infantry
This nigga
infantry only applies to conventional warfare with a regular army
unconventional warfare with an irregular army does not use that term
no ETA member called themself "infantry"
Insurgents
Or just fighters
The guerrilla insurgent is the most powerful weapon against conventional militaries
Or to nations
They're similar in function
Guerrilla fighters and conventional infantry
Nah
Nope
the infantryman advances and holds terrain
Guerrilla fighters are more like special operations
Which is why they send delta in to fight dirtskins with aks
Try sending some jarheads in humvees into Juarez and see if they dont get ambushed
it's a lot easier to fight if you don't need to hold shit or make yourself recognizable
Yeah and counter insurgency is fucking impossible
All that happens is your infantry get ptsd and you accomplish nothing
Which is good for the military industrial complex but bad for the gubment if they want to actually control us
Or invade somewhere
when was the last time the USA actually succeeded against guerrillas?
the only real example I can think of is maybe iraq
after about 10 years
Saddam had a very conventional military
Domestic or foreign
We dunked them in a week
Probably the Philippines
yeah, saddam got demolished fairly quickly but the insurgents took forever to mop up
We pooped on the phillipinos pretty quick
Although we made them give up
Not really beat them
Do Indian wars count as insurgencies
