They may not have succeeded in their stated aims - but they may still be
trying to and their stated aims may not be the actual aims. Even if the
latter seems almost certain to be the case, someone who is trying to
shoot you is a very dangerous opponent, even if, for the moment, their
shots are all wide. And someone with a loaded gun should be treated as
dangerous, even if they haven't actually said they are trying to shoot
you...

So some words of advice from Banjo Patterson (who was referring to the
Boers):

   "Firstly, when fighting the Dutchman, male it your cardinal rule – 
    Think he’s a rogue if it please you: never believe he’s a fool."

Read the whole poem - it is a startlingly accurate picture of how to
fight as an effective guerilla, considering it was written during a war
that ended just as WWI was starting. 

Regards, K.
