    When I was young and first started to learn about war and military history across multiple conflicts I've always had this urge and this sense to learn as much as possible from the victories and defeats of many battles from ancient Rome to nazi Germany to the USSR, America etc. I don't know where it comes from but I feel it necessary to learn how wars are fought and more importantly how war evolves. We're a species of violent savants who excel at finding ways to kill on an industrial level, learning how we apply such horrific methods for some reason interests and captivates me. From weapons to tactics learning war in my opinion is a most useful skill.

      I love the strategic aspects of war. Not only on the strategies commanded upon the battlefield, but also the political and psychological strategies. From the ability to inspire a nearly defeated army with belief and purpose, enough to turn the tides, to the ability to invoke fear, and doubt in ones enemy, at just the right time, and in just the right way. The brilliantly orchestrate military strategy planned and the timely synchronized execution on the battlefield, including the "on the fly", real time, reactive modifications to defend, to trick, out wit, out maneuver, or psych out to demoralize one's foe. Sometimes, they'll even spread rumors about the enemy leader, (prior to declaring war), which correspond to possible doubts already present in the minds of his enemies soldiers about their leader. Alliances, marriages, vassals, spies, secrecy, successfully sniffing out traitors, etc, etc. The bravery, the fear, pain, suffering, inspiration, doubts, resilience, sacrifice, death, and destruction. Not to mention the absolutely astonishing logistics required, (economic, morale, food, water, weather, equipment, resources, deployment, etc) in order to even get the chance to orchestrate it all, and carry out their strategic game plan. There are so many moving parts. When it's all put together, it's like a glorious artistic symphony. A masterpiece

      Yeah, you can destroy the entire government's ability to wage war against you, but if you don't know how to keep the peace, (Or kill off/ enslave so many people the nation you fought against basically no longer exist. Or use heavy indoctrination so the desire to raise arms against you does not exist anymore.) the first war won could become a second future war in years or even decades or an insurgency that will never end.
      Also you need to make sure your other rivals do not get involved. Otherwise, THEY will help build up the people you just crushed and use them as a proxy enemy against you.

    I love the strategic aspects of war. Not only on the strategies commanded upon the battlefield, but also the political and psychological strategies. From the ability to inspire a nearly defeated army with belief and purpose, enough to turn the tides, to the ability to invoke fear, and doubt in ones enemy, at just the right time, and in just the right way. The brilliantly orchestrate military strategy planned and the timely synchronized execution on the battlefield, including the "on the fly", real time, reactive modifications to defend, to trick, out wit, out maneuver, or psych out to demoralize one's foe. Sometimes, they'll even spread rumors about the enemy leader, (prior to declaring war), which correspond to possible doubts already present in the minds of his enemies soldiers about their leader. Alliances, marriages, vassals, spies, secrecy, successfully sniffing out traitors, etc, etc. The bravery, the fear, pain, suffering, inspiration, doubts, resilience, sacrifice, death, and destruction. Not to mention the absolutely astonishing logistics required, (economic, morale, food, water, weather, equipment, resources, deployment, etc) in order to even get the chance to orchestrate it all, and carry out their strategic game plan. There are so many moving parts. When it's all put together, it's like a glorious artistic symphony. A masterpiece

    Try to deal maximum damage in shortest amount of time.
    Fight on enemies territory and avoid your own.
    Limit your objectives to only practically achievable ones.
    Do not conquer land or go in to control large population centers with hostile population.
    Do not try to destroy enemy completely, aim at damaging them hard enough and let "gravity" do the rest.

    Depending upon the country's size, power and resources war tactics may be different. For example Nazi Germany defeated France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland with their "Blitzkrieg" techniques and got unbelievable success in conquering Soviet union at the initial stages but later Soviets not only defended their country successfully but invaded the Germany and captured Berlin also. So I think only army generals know the answer to the question " How to win a war?" and that answers differs greatly with respect to the conditions.

    If we look at a few modern wars, we see why they were successful or not.
    Gulf War: The objective was always to force Sadam to leave Kuwait. But some people wanted to kill him and demilitarized/puppet Iraq under the US or another power. Bush Snr was smart here, because he knew that they had no one to replace him, a power vacuum would open and the situation would get worse. So he left the military and government intact, just forced them to leave.
    Iraq: The objective was to remove Sadam and find his WMDs (which I still doubt to this day ever existed). The issue was, they had no one to replace Sadam and hadn't thought through what the aftermath would be. Hence the rise of ISIS, the war they continue to fight now, etc. Although militarily a victory, the war isn't over nor was it won.
    Korean War: The objective was to push back North Korea over the border and force them to surrender. This changed early on to removing North Korea and unification under MacArthur. This war stalemated, because they dragged in China, instead of just forcing North Korea to surrender or starving them out.
    East Timor: The East Timor Crisis was a very small war, but a good example of a war done well. The objective was to end the Crisis and allow East Timor independence. They defeated the Pro-Indonesian forces and then did what they needed to do: Ensure the situation was stable. Unlike the initial Iraq pull out by Obama, Australia didn't leave East Timor until they were certain the country could look after itself and the fighting was at a level the local forces could deal with. In Iraq, they left a poorly trained, but well equipped military behind that couldn't handle ISIS.

      Unfortunately, winning the peace isn't very exciting, and thus does not get the same kinds of resources.

    • @fakecubed
      @fakecubed 5 лет назад +3

      Winning the peace means having the willingness before you go to war to actually win it, and not get squeamish about what must be done. We could win the war in Afghanistan in a week, and make that country peaceful for a thousand years, but does anyone in Washington, D.C. have the stomach to do so? We were able to win so decisively in Syria because there were no CNN reporters spreading demoralizing reports to the American people and asking uncomfortable questions of politicians.
      Soldiers aren't peacekeepers, they're warfighters. Let them off their political leash, keep the un-American press out of the theater, and we'll see plenty of decisive victories again everywhere, for far cheaper, and it will discourage future wars by making everyone too scared of war to wage it again.
      Making distinctions between enemy fighters and the populations that harbor them and being concerned about collateral damage only stretches wars out for many years and results in far more civilian deaths in the long run.
