Nope. Egypt and Syria caught them off guard with their much larger armies, which they also had in 67.The US and Israel learned from the 1973 war. Israel learned that Egypt had caught up militarily, and signed a peace treaty with them shortly after.
The US learned the lethality of saggers and armored columns unsupported due to SAMs. They developed Air Land battle strategy as a result and redoubled technology to support it (M1 tank, Apache, stealth etc.)
Israel has to realize they are a tiny country and do not have the luxury of waiting when the barbarians are at the gates.
Hezbollah is just waiting for Israel to go into Gaza and then they attacked. Israel needs to attack first at the more deadly enemy.
Neutralize Hezbollah will also be a morale blow to Hamas. After Hezbollah is taken out, take the fight to Hamas and re-establish control over Gaza!
Then go argue you that on the million other threads the subjectI don’t agree with you. Total war is a war crime. Saying oh well killing civilians is acceptable, is dumb. You need to grow up and recognize this fundamental truth.
Do you ever think mass murdering children will have consequences? Have you considered for one second the old truism, violence begets violence? Do you know which side of this war is the oppressor and aggressor, and the far more powerful force?
