Stabilization and Destabilization Operations, a Continuum.
The Monsterization
(demonization) of a Foe assumes that said Foe has no environmentally
sound strategy for the survival of their people. All living things,
including the St Augustine grass that wants to hide in the flower bed, have a
strategy for survival. The core of that survival is day to day, and
generation to generation.

All behaviors are
directed at that goal (feed and breed). Each species, faith, culture,
group, and combat unit play specific Roles in the competition for feeding and
breeding. There are heroes and villains, some imaginary, some not.
The competition is played out according to a set of Rules (social status and
the relation to the physical world). In order to succeed in the Roles, in
accordance with the Rules, Tools are used. Tools normally are extensions
of the body, like rifles, pistols, and the Tango.
Given the horrific
expense of combat formations in fuel and ammunition, which expenditures damage
those parts of the survival strategy as to invoke strong counter measures like
IED's, Kamikaze, Banzai, and King Tigers.
The principle
problematic group in this fray are the Arabs who have just returned from a 900
year occupation by the Turks. They had learned how to resist but not how
to rule, and rule they want in accordance with their survival strategy.
The more we enhance their abilities to rule in accordance with their survival
strategies, the more likely we are to defeat the counterproductive
strategies of a bastardized and murderous blasphemy called ISIS.
This requires a revision
in US doctrine that does not segregate Stability Operations from Defense and
Offense as it tends to be. That means that there are Offensive Stability
Operations that foment strategies that are both counterproductive for the
malevolent and supportive of a positive adjustment in the Survival Strategies
of the population, their culture and governance.
All the graphs and
