Something I was taught during my time working in the special forces was the concept of force multiplying.
This concept applys almost perfectly to our current situation trying to promote Ron's message.
Not only do we need to "train" our fellow citizens on Ron's message, we also ned to train them in spreading Ron's message.
I give the following information with substitutions in parentheses so you can see how you may enact this system into your current strategies for spreading the word.
A small group of well-equipped, well-trained soldiers (RP Supporters) with the sun at their backs may be more capable of defending a fortified mountainous position than a larger group of poorly equipped, poorly-trained soldiers (IE..Giuliani supporters) with the sun in their faces is capable of assaulting the same position.
Modern NATO militaries (modern RP Supporters) are highly force-multiplied forces, in that a relatively small number of troops can successfully defeat much larger numbers of less well-trained and equipped enemies (Other candidates). For example, in the Battle of Mogadishu two Special Forces soldiers held off hundreds of militia. In the 2003 War in Iraq, a smaller force achieved a much more difficult objective than in the 1991 Gulf War, because of advances in sensors, computers, and telecommunications (IE. Internet, Meetup, Youtube etc)
However, some military analysts believe that the overwhelming combat capabilities of advanced military forces may lead to a false assumption of their capabilities in every situation. For this reason, these strategists may argue that greater emphasis needs to be placed on "boots on the ground" (Getting supporters to actually show up at the rallies is just as important)
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said: "Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier." (Keep up the good fight and always be spreading the RP word)
Another kind of force multiplier is to select a small number of highly-trained professional soldiers and smuggle them deep into enemy-held territory, where they covertly train indigenous civilians in guerilla warfare. In this scenario, an underground resistance movement disrupts enemy activities within their secured territory while regular military forces attack from outside. (This means that we can begin to infiltrate the other candidates camps and bases of support and begin to spread Ron's message from the inside...his message is so powerful and truthful that many will begin to see his truth, and there is no better converter of enemy troops to friendlies than one of their own beginning to spread the RP message)
The use of intelligence has the potential to be a force multiplier; prior knowledge of an enemy's location and strength allows one's own forces to be concentrated (or indeed weakened)at key points in advance of any action. (We need to begin attending other candidates rallies and show support for RP...if it is just standing on the entrance road with RP signs saying Google Ron Paul and you'll know he's right)
Hope this helps bring new perspective to our fight for Ron. :)
