Just suppose that your enemy is thousands of miles away. Has the most advanced weapons. Weapons of bullets, bombs and even more important, government issued bonds. All the world sends this distant enemy, all its best. The best minds, manners, and even more important, money.
This remote enemy is the elephant of the world. It sits surrounded by protectors. It considers itself the goal of life and thinks that all those people “out there” want only to “come here to live in glory.” And for the most part, the grass is very green in the elephant country.
So how do you attack an elephant. How do you breach the impenetrable fortress, how do you counter his bullets and breach his boundary? How can a mouse kill an elephant?
Trap him.
How can a small group capture a very much larger group? How can you do battle against superior forces? America didn’t capture England. Vietnam didn’t capture America. Knowing the difference between capture and combat is only a plank on the bridge.
