SayPro A counter-insurgency which involves an intervention in a foreign country is often optional while local counter-insurgency is not a choice The forces operating in the territory of another government are exposed to the superiority of the rebels with advantages such as their knowledge of the land They live in the country and never plan to leave while foreign forces must eventually plan to move out The population is aware of this and therefore the prospects for their support diminish The foreign government thus fighting the insurgency on external soil must have great strategic patience to survive a long-running conflict
