Like I mentioed earlier, the objective is the test of the
virtues of one formation against that of another, as well as the
strategy of one against the other. And yes, it is extremely easy to
just wanna go out to see blood. However,the moment you use things
like pipe bombs, IEDs, car bombs, this shows its an act of
terrorism, and not the actions of an unhappy people. Frankly, if
there's any large scale riot, involving majority of the population,
the only thing most probably that will happen is that the grukhas
will be activated to secure key installation like camps etc, for
fear that sympathisers will issue weapons and ammo, wide-spread
curfew and also local police forces will be used to arrest the
rioters.
Someone mentioned the use of heli-gunships and M203, i suppose they
won't use gunships as it would be a violation of human rights, as
you are shooting at mobs of people armed with nothing more then
poles, parangs,broken glass bottles, does that justify the use of a
gunship spraying 7.62 or .50 rounds at them? I doubt so...
