After 15 years of counterinsurgency, is it that difficult to provide a staging area and airlift flatboats, speedboats , logistics and MRAPS to these chaps in the field?

the military as no excuse, even in the north west we saw how Lt. Col manga and his team used a makeshift canoe.
We should have evolved and be innovative after 15 years, if we are serious with improving battleground tactics and logistics

Check what South Africa was doing during the South African border war and check what we have been doing for nearly 20 years and see just how "serious" we are about all this. The South Africans would show up at times and places of their choosing, wreak havoc and retire at will. They were very badly outnumbered and still regularly inflicted 100:1 casualties if not more. Like almost all of southern Africa was against them, but these guys countless times used their cunning and ingenuity to kill thousands while suffering relatively few casualties.

I am not holding brief for these guys, But they really were exceptional.

Now, ask yourself if the Nigerian military is as capable. Is it even willing? I don't see that.

Just last week, the wife of a general, a housewife was in the news because 35 million naira worth of her jewelry was stolen. And that was only a part of her jewelry collection. Where did you think the money came from and how many like her are out there? And let's not forget the Bannex plaza episode or the fact that the NA has been crying over lack of personnel and has been keeping troops for many years at the war front and not regularly rotating them. The same NA has thousands of checkpoints all over the South East and South South manned by troops who are badly needed at the war front.

You can't take an uncritical look at the whole situation and not realize that this is not a serious war we have on our hands. The incompetence, corruption, intentional stupidity and avarice is just too blatant to be ignored.

But what the NA does not seem to understand is that the more that bandits and terrorists are treated with kid gloves, the more they will multiply and the more they improve their armaments. Soon, the NA will find itself badly outnumbered and possibly outgunned. When that happens, we might all well and truly be fcked.
