When the civilian population is deprived of food. the enemy soldiers get the food. They take it away from the civilians. That is the nature of guerrilla warfare. That is exactly what happens. The more we deprive the soldiers of food. the more they are going to take it away from the civilian population. So. instead of growing crops on their land. the civilians go to the refugee camps. Nobody is saying we are starving them. but we are saying we are turning the land off. making it of marginal value. in a sensein other words. counterproductive. I thank the Senator for yielding.
