"Guerrilla," not "gorilla." Gorillas are peaceful vegetarians, King Kong notwithstanding.

And yes, I agree with you that it's just about impossible to win against gurrillas. They know the terrain and they have no interest in "rules" of warfare. The colonists were accused by the Brits of being guerrillas, and the colonists did quite well in that war, I believe. You're right; it sucks.

I'm pretty sure humans kicked the gorillas' asses in Rwanda and the Congo, though. Doubtful they'll make it to the 22nd Century.
