Topic: Guerrilla warriors


  
  Guerrilla War (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guerrilla War (Guevara in Japan) is an arcade game by SNK.
Originally released for arcades in 1987, Guerrilla War followed the adventures of two unnamed rebel commandos as they raid an unnamed Caribbean Island in order to free it from the rule of an unnamed tyrannical dictator.
However, and unlike Ikari Warriors, the NES/Famicom versions proved to be very well adapted to the system and more popular than the arcade version.

 Ireland's OWN: History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
As to the matter of military responsibilities, those of the guerrillas are to exterminate small forces of the enemy; to harass and weaken large forces; to attack enemy lines of communications; to establish bases capable of supporting independent operations in the enemy's rear and to force the enemy to disperse its strength.
In essence guerrillas must be educated both militarily and politically, as not only the burden of helping to achieve revolutionary freedom, but the burden of showing the people the importance and necessity of the movement, and increasing sympathy and support for the movement, lies in their hands.
The guerrilla warrior knows that capitalists have never allowed their power to be voted away regardless of any idealistic negotiated settlements with revolutionary forces; and Britain, for example, has never left any of its so-called colonies without an armed struggle.

For local authorities, the decision of the guerrillas to interdict highway traffic is nothing more than a new phase in the war for control of the region and its accursed wealth, the coca crop.
On Nov. 14, 2000, the guerrillas' announcement of a unilateral suspension of negotiations had a chilling effect: The war in Putumayo is now set to last a long time.

 Five-Fold Today for 3-31-2000
While a party of warriors at this level might be effective at taking out a "bridge" which the enemy uses for transporting evil, the enemy generally is able to re-build before a major assault can be made upon his stronghold.
This is not to say that these warriors or their techniques are not effective, but they are not as efficient as the next level.
One of the greatest hindrances to moving from the level of guerrilla warfare to that of the Army of resistors is a fear of authority.

The rising of Iraq's free warriors gives a glimpse of the great possibilities that that government, and the governments of Coalition nations, might yet grasp in Iraq.

The happy warriors of a democratic Iraq, tied to the free peoples of the world by bonds of blood and love of liberty would be no small gain.

In traditional societies, warriors often had to be taunted, intoxicated, or ritually "transformed" into animal form before battle.
In fact, the very purpose of male initiation rites is to distinguish biological maleness, which undoubtedly includes a healthy desire for self-preservation, from cultural manhood, which requires a certain amount of self-discipline and even self-sacrifice for the group (as does cultural womanhood).
