I would be someone high up in the Israeli military said the same thing about the Shiites in southern Lebanon in 1982. And then again in 2006. And that someone high up in the French military said that about the Algerians around 1955. And that many officers high up in the US military said that repeatedly about the NLF (AKA Viet Cong) for about 9 years, from 1964-1973. And so on.
