Tell me again how the USMC's Stand In Force stops this gray zone behavior???

The US military is all about so called deterrence but I have yet to see where deterrence is actually working. They come up with no concepts to explain old behavior (such as this) but have no REAL plan on how to stop it. For better or worse our entire doctrine is a fist full of bullshit. All the psychology of warfare is bullshit. You simply kill the guy that is trying to kill you. Its just that simple. As far as the SIF is concerned? It's coastal artillery (cannon, rocket or missile) that is vulnerable from the sea and MOST DEFINITELY from ground forces. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The USMC's Stand In Force is simply a trip wire outfit designed to ensure that the war is escalated.
