In irregular warfare, our physical circumstances are often - not always, but often - far superior to those of regular warfare. We have access to many resources that we would not in conventional conflict. The flip-side to that is that we frequently have to pretend that we are not at war, often when the battle is at its hottest. There is an extra level of psychological risk attached to irregular warfare, as compared to the more obvious battle-lines of trench warfare, and the camaraderie and unity that ignites in a times of overt war is often absent.
In times like these, it is good to remind oneself of the good one already has, the blessings already received, the presence of essentials and luxuries that you would be praying for in a more traditional time of war.
"Start from where you are and work with what you've got."
That piece of advice has carried me through every disaster.
