"This is a new kind of war, and this case is a result of the new kind of warfare," Culp said, referring to insurgents who do not wear uniforms and mix within the civilian population.

Where have I heard that before?

In the movie Breaker Morant, Harry Morant said, regarding the Boer War at the turn of the 20th Century the following:

"It's a new kind of war, George. It's a new war for a new century. I suppose this is the first time the enemy hasn't been in uniform. They're farmers. They're people from small towns. They shoot at us from houses and from paddocks. Some of them are women, some of them are children and some of them are missionaries."

What a scary parallel. I pray there’s no Kitchener in Congress or Camp Pen.
