also the whole "kill leaders" thing is very very overblown, because it assumes that guerillas would necessarily adopt some kind of hierarchy that falls apart once you lop off the head

in recent conflicts this has proven to either not be very effective (islamist groups such as Al Qaeda or ISIS), or actually make the situation worse (killing a Mexican cartel head usually just results in more chaos as factions vie for supremacy and upstarts try to muscle in). and at this point, most guerilla operations of this type usually assume their leader is going to die at some point and prepare accordingly.
