Yeah, and not finding some motorized brigades in a small part of a country 
is much much harder than finding 13.000 individuals (or just 1 individual) 
who have a huge area to hide in. And who have nothing bigger than rifles 
and maybe a backpack to carry with them, not tanks, aircraft, fixed AD 
installations, and so forth.
