The fidai Our weakness is mercy wethers they give none. The tactics of these groups and there operational groups would be out inspiration for our tier 1 groups and the necessity to have them. The ottomans in 1400s had units like the akanjis basically units hat worked behind enemy lines. Alot of them are essentially were we get the idea of a ninja from. The order of the assisins were a group in early mediaeval middle east there soldiers were called fidai. Super well trained and killed many leaders and infiltrated countless groups shaping history. They seem to get killed off over time but they always seem to return like a parasite. The way they were able to use information and trickery to cause chaos framing opposition groups and causing riots etc we see parallels with the deep state.

On another note I'm always questioning the validity of these interviews. My favourite is to listen to crazy John McPhee explain his experience in the early Iraqi war days and the absolute savagery. Another veteran describes the difference in how ferocious the fighting was against these modern Shia fidia in South Iraq than then when fighting the Iraqi army.
