#Heisenberg and #Mao Zedong: The Occupier Effect
▻http://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/heisenberg-and-mao-zedong-the-occupier-effect
Regardless of the foreign soldier’s moral attitude, he is carrying a weapon through someone’s neighborhoods, making him an occupier. Whatever the circumstances that placed this soldier there, his presence will eventually be viewed as an outside intrusion into local affairs. This intrusion will breed resentment and given enough time, resentment will boil over into violence. The only way to eliminate violence against foreign troops is for them to leave... Occupation justified by curbing violence actually generates violence, possibly for no other reason than armed foreign presence.
