Members of the Free Syrian Army rocking sweat pants and flip-flops utilize a homemade slingshot to launch improvised explosive devices at the Syrian Arab Army.
Back in the early days of the Syrian Civil War, before a bunch of massive military super powers stepped in to intervene, the world got a good look at what a modern era revolution could and would look like. At the start, members of the Free Syrian Army were comprised almost entirely of defected Syrian Arab Army Soldiers and Syrian Law Enforcement officials who vehemently disagreed with the dictatorial nature of the Bashir al-Assad. When they defected, some of them brought their weapons to the fight for the people.
Those who were unable to bring their weapons from work over to the fight, improvised their own way to fight back against the Syrian Arab Army. In the future study of warfare, the initial phase of the Syrian Civil War will be looked at as an era of absolute innovation in modern warfare, which will showcase how motivated individuals are capable of creating their own weapon systems to fight back against a militarily superior opponent.
