Removed AAA remarks

I just deleted a sentence which asserts that the AAA (Alianza Anticomunista Argentina) a group with government links born in 1974, supressed Montoneros and leftist ERP (Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo) guerrillas . The counter-terror of AAA was limited to selective assassinations of supporters and affiliated politicians, without facing these organizations in open combat, as the Army and other security forces did. The guerrilla in Argentina was actually defeated after the military dictatorship overthrew the constitutional government in 1976. DagosNavy 03:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

George washington and the American revolution

I have thought consistently that George Washington and his later tactics in the American revolution were guerrilla tactics and should be added as an early example of such tactics, as he tried to avoid direct confrontation with the British army and tried to tire them out, while also gaining support from foreign nations such as France. The political unrest against the British could be considered as completion of the political wing of guerrilla warfare. Could we add this as an example? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.72.95.76 (talk) 23:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! If you can find a source stating that Washington used guerilla tactics, you're welcome to add that to the article. Otherwise, it's original research.Birdsinthewindow (talk) 01:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Childish Gambino seems to refer to the militia, in his song, "this is America": Guns in my area (word, my area) I got the strap (ayy, ayy) I gotta carry 'em Yeah, yeah, I'ma go into this (ugh) Yeah, yeah, this is guerrilla (woo) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:579:800C:10:7841:C1AB:C02A:8CA7 (talk) 19:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
