Von Clausewitz thought it was a fool's errand to try to have a bloodless war. Who is Von Clausewitz? One of the most famous military strategists of all time who lived two centuries ago and spent his entire life at war. He pointed to many examples from his time of foolish populations and leaders who thought they could get away with "humane" versions of war, then were smashed by those who held no such compunctions.
Americans and the west need to set aside the Disney and Netflix propaganda we are drowned in and recognize that when we fight, we need to go all in including troops on the ground.
