IndiaNewsWatch<p>How the Quicksand of Counter-Insurgency Operations Has Hurt Indian Army's Core Value</p><p>The recent Rajouri-Poonch incident has offered a chance to start the process of recovery and climb out of the morass. Distinguish between criminality and a genuine mistake. Instead of incentivising criminal behaviour using the plea of troops’ morale, prosecute and punish the criminals in uniform. Make an example of them.

In the records, TigerSwan expressed its ambitions to repurpose these detailed records to position themselves as experts in managing pipeline protests. The company created marketing materials pitching work to at least two other energy companies building controversial oil and gas infrastructure, the records show. TigerSwan, which was staffed heavily with former members of military special operations units, branded its tactics as a 'counterinsurgency approach,' drawing directly from its leaders’ experiences fighting the so-called War on Terror abroad. </p><p>"TigerSwan did not just work in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthDakota</span></a>.
