Thank you for sharing this. I'm currently searching for all the survival knowledge I can find. Thank you for posting.

Great find

Globalization, techno-logical advancement, urbanization, and extremists who conduct suicide attacks for their cause have cer-tainly influenced contemporary conflict; however, warfare in the 21st century retains many of the charac-teristics it has exhibited since ancient times. Warfare remains a violent clash of interests between organized groups characterized by the use of force. Achieving victory still depends on a group’s ability to mobilize support for its political interests (often religiously or ethnically based) and to generate enough violence to achieve political consequences.

Joint doctrine defines an insurgency as an or-ganized movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government through the use of subversion and armed conflict

So, considering "our" past, with perhaps the best example being Operation CONDOR, not only are we the world's premeir imperialists and international state-sponsered terrorists, the U.S. is also the worlds premeir "insurgents".
