The Western world has been defined by the effectiveness of their militaries.
Western militaries defended the interests of their respective states and provided the shield which allow the West to prosper.
They defended the West against all enemies, whether they were the Ottoman Turks, the Soviet Union during the Cold War, or other Western militaries.
In the case of Gaza, despite media accounts to the contrary, it strains credibility that the Israelis did not share details of "Jericho Wall" with the U.S. IC given the close cooperation going back many decades between the intelligence communities and militaries.
Militaries have protected the West for centuries and in the modern era, the U.S. military and the IDF have expertly and ably defended the U.S. and Israel.
Abbey Gate and "Jericho Wall" are warnings that big things are amiss-there are deep problems in the U.S. military and IDF. As both become politicized forces, they are losing military effectiveness.
Abbey Gate should have taught the U.S. IC and military too, but the Biden administration suppressed the necessary analysis of what were the causes of the failure and what lessons should be learned.
