Well, CK let me point something out to you. Mao got his men food & ammo from raiding the enemy also the VC were a bit smarter & the social structure of their country afforded such to them in that they had farms; where VCs worked the land & loaded food into tunnels to feed to soldiers close to the American front.

Now what I'm talking about & you missed it completely was the improtance of the supply chain.

I'll use a hypothetical to make my point;
Lets say Mexico invades the US (yeah I know) and a militia unit using guerrilla tactics sneaks into a Mexican field base & raids undefended Chow Hall poisons the food which remains & beats feet. The psychological effect is devistating, I don't need to anything but eat the Mexican Army's borritos to win the battle.

You see my point now; we transport food to combat forces & instead need to consider producing food in the field. Thats a weakness thats crippling, I've even spoke with Russian soldiers when I was in the service who talked about larger Russian & even Chinese military bases having internal farms, livestock and butchers. These were all soldiers but if the base was cut off from external supply it a self-contained redundancy.

Just saying the same thing deferently...
