Because you have overthrown the tyrant in the Command and Control series, you have become the occupying force – you have control but now you must maintain it.
The first objective of your Counterinsurgency strategy is to identify which advantages the enemy may have over you. Generally, the greatest advantage insurgents have is the ability to observe you for days and weeks at a time. They utilize spies, which hide in plain sight.
The enemy is content to “wait it out,” and watch you for a time, studying your troop deployments, your routines, and finding weaknesses therein. They are observing your patterns of behavior.
Break Your Bad Habits
Believe this, Predictability gets soldiers killed.

Your predictability stems from your values, which may be a distorted Cause you have decided to pick up and take as your own.

As discussed in part one of Patterns of Behavior, many physiological imbalances are rooted energetically, or psychologically. Why is that?
From a young age, we are conditioned by society. We are told how to act, how to talk, how to be happy, and how to forget.
Repression and suppression are the subjects we were taught in schools and in our homes.
And, unfortunately, most of us scored an A+.
