Is total warfare used today?

Total conventional warfare has not really been used on a major large scale since the Korean War. This is army against army. In Vietnam the U.S. was able to defeat the NVA by means of conventional warfare. This was a problem for the NVA who knew that they could be defeated by conventional warfare. They changed their strategy to a more unconventional guerilla warfare which is hit and run tactics and ambushes. This strategy was put into great effect in Afghanistan when Soviet Forces invaded. Conventional warfare has been used on a smaller scale in the First Gulf War and the Iraq War. The modern day war in Afghanistan observes guerilla warfare as seen in Vietnam and Afghanistan decades earlier.
