Convenient Folly

I don't know why the jihadis are still stupid enough to mass when they move about in Afghanistan. The experience of last year and this spring should have disabused the jihadis of the notion that there is safety in numbers:

NATO and U.S.-led coalition forces killed about 60 insurgents along the border with Pakistan in what was described as the largest insurgent formation crossing the border region in six months, NATO said Saturday.

Sure, if the enemy wants to actually overrun a district, such numbers are needed. But haven't the past destruction of large groups taught even the enemy a lesson here?

As long as the enemy is willing to mass, I hope we will always be willing to kill every last one we can find.
