Why aren't they constantly fighting? When my father was a Peshmerga, and he tells me stories, or if I read about battles in SK, it's like the Peshmerga were in a battle every single day (not all of them, but atleast one activity every day, especially during the nights). F.e. in the 60-64 tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers were killed, int he 70-74 revolution another, at least, 20,000 Iraqi soldiers and during the uprising in Sulaymaniyah in 1991 alone (within ONE day) more than 2000 (700 were executed, others died during fightings in and around Sulaymaniyah + that day and the following days many other thousands of Arab soldiers were killed/injured/captured during the uprising). The activity was also very high in the 80's.
But with PKK/PJAK it isn't allways very active. Sometimes day have a very big nice attack, but that's maybe 3 times per year. Why is that?
