It was precisely on the body count morality that the USA lost the Viet Nam war.
1 – They lost their grip on the fact that casualty numbers are not necessarily related to the military or political results of an action. The VN population was in situ – still is – and no more willing to give in than the Americans in their War of Independence. THe Germans had to give in when overrun because in an industrial society as opposed to a rural society, the occupying troops could stop the economy.
2 – The US lost their moral and morale security in the process of the drip drip of US casualties without visible results for it.
3 – The effect of casualty rates on a society depends on that society and not on the society and its forces inflicting the casualties. This is why the Arab skirmish war carries on given the real numbers of casualties are a bloody nuisance but stilll half the rateof road and other accident deaths so insignificant in terms of economics and demographics. In fact they have partly encouraged young Israeli couples to have three children… “in case something happens to one of them.” Conversely the Arabs ignore their casualties for believing they have gone to paradise. Now if Israel really did impose a blockade on Gaza like the Araab blockade of Israeli in 1947 – 67 the distress for want of food and medicine would make a difference that might lead to a sign off.

Than you Stephen for your article which is as clear as it can be. One day the deniers on both sides will finally understand the difference between motivation to commit a murder of innocent people and defending a life.

The scenario you refer to is certainly an eye opener to many who still don’t get it.
