17. yes

Read Robert Asprey's book "War In The Shadows". He chronicles guerilla war through out history, and examines what worked, and what didn't, and then details the war in Vietnam, and why we were ultimately ineffective. His book was banned from the US military acadamies, and ignored by the US military for 20 years. Finally in the late '80s they started studying this book. Obviously it should have been required reading by Rumsfeld and his staff, as we are doing every thing in Iraq that Asprey warns us not to do.

Those who will not study history, are doomed to repeat it.
