The Mau Mau uprising. The Malayan uprising. The Philippine uprising of the early 20th century. The Biafra uprising. All put down by the government.

actually NONE of those uprisings was put down by the government.

the CLOSEST to that was the MauMau rebellion, which failed because it was NOT a popularly supported guerrilla action;instead it was a group of common criminals masquerading as guerrillas. (even the USSR & Red China gave up on them.)

the Maylay rebellion was driven underground after MANY years of British military might being used against it. it STILL is active today in some areas of the islands.

the Philippine uprising by the Huks was NEVER ended, even by the cruelty of the Japanese. it is in FINE shape today.

face it, N-S, you are dead WRONG. stick to posting HALF-truths, wishful thinking, NONSENSE, DY PROPAGANDA & leave military doctrine to those of us who actually SERVED in the armed forces.
