I always view with suspicion any attempt by government to practice urban warfare. Where are tightly packed urban areas? Not in Afghanistan, not in Iran, not in Nigeria but in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta etc.

A few years ago a survey was conducted by the Marines at Twenty Nine Palms CA that asked Marines if they would be willing to fight American citizens who refused to give up their guns. At that time a program was being held to teach U.S. soldiers to fight in compact urban areas.

Seems far-fetched? How many years ago would we have said it was far-fetched for government to tell us if we could smoke cigarettes or have babies?

A suburb of Kabul from TV Hill.

Have you looked at an aerial map of the places you’ve named in the Middle East and Southern Asia???

IF you have, your definition of a ‘Warren’ and mine are vastly different... And I'll stick with mine.
