| VDH - When Has War Even Been ‘Proportional?' |
| 2023-11-17 |
| [American Greatness] Proportionality in war is a synonym for lethal stalemate, if not defeat. When two sides go at it with roughly equal forces, weapons, and strategies, the result is often a horrific deadlock—like the four years of toxic trench warfare on the Western Front of World War I that resulted in 12 million fatalities. The purpose of war is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible with the least number of causalities—and thereby achieve political ends. So, every side aims to find superior strategies, tactics, weapons, and manpower to ensure as great a disproportionate advantage as possible. Hamas is no exception. Its savage precivilizational strategy to defeat Israel hinged on doing disproportionate things Israel either cannot or will not do. |
