A Republican senator claimed that ground troops would likely be needed to reopen a crucial oil passway in Iran, blasting the current state of President Donald Trump's war a "f*cking clusterf*ck."
Trouble not thwarted. The US Marshals and the Army were able to largely deal with the various bandits (my ancestor included), warbands, and insurgents in the American Southwest for example. The problem has largely been a post-WW1 issue due to a doctrine built off of fighting the Germans aka a near peer. Though I wouldn’t call the Iranians an insurgency or even guerrilla, their tactics being more akin to Polish or Swiss assymetrical war planning, if you know you can’t beat them fair you fight dirty, no shade it’s a war of survival and all tactics are valid under such circumstances in my opinion.
