I'm not a military expert, but after just reading The Killer Angels about the battle of Gettysburg...frontal assault on a well entrenched enemy holding the high ground...sounds like Pickett's Charge to me.

The halmark of the Israeli military has always been its mobility and firepower. What I cannot understand is why they haven't tried to outflank the Hezbollah positions by an aerial or seaborne assault and attack the Hezzie rear.

Any armor force can be effective out on the open plains against other enemy armor. But Isreal is fighting in populated, built up, areas which afford enemy fighters with cover and concelment. Personally, I do not believe this claim or the Hezzies would have flooded the MSM with photos and propaganda.

Good morning.
"...sounds like Pickett's Charge to me."

Pickett didn't have MLRS, smart weapons and aerial control centers to help him take the high ground.

Hezbollah can only inflict casualties. The worst enemy Israel faces in this war is the UN.

Supposedly that was the lont-time plan, overruled by the military genius Olmert.
