Talk Back to Me

We can become lost in tribal arguments or we can look at the Minnesota ICE shooting to better understand asymmetrical warfare. In this episode we introduce a thought experiment where the line between combatant and non-combatant gets blurred. 

A common tactic of asymmetrical warfare is to leverage public opinion through potentially deceptive media to garner animosity against the opposing force. Through this tactic, a militarily inferior force may cripple a superior army by inspiring domestic opposition to military action, turning the local or resident populace against the actions of the dominant force. The objective of asymmetrical warfare isn't to win a decisive victory on the battlefield, but through inspiring revolutionary action in the resident populace, legitimate or otherwise.
