How should modern urban warfare be conducted?
Joe Ga had never fought in one, but that didn't stop him from using the terrorists in the small town of Byrdi as training targets.
Due to prolonged conflicts, infrastructure was scarce and the mobile signal within Byrdi was terrible, not to mention cable TV and the like.
Among the people living under the rule of the terrorists, those who could flee had already done so. Among the remaining civilians, some still supported al-Qaeda, while the rest were truly innocent and helpless.
Moreover, as al-Qaeda's rule prolonged, more people were being brainwashed and converted.
To put it bluntly, sometimes brainwashing humans can be even easier than dogs, because humans can accept many bizarre things out of fear, and then gradually become accustomed to them.
