The Maginot Line gets bad press, but it was actually perfectly effective. The Germans never breached it. The problem with it was, it gave the French a false sense of security.
The Gaza tunnel complex is simply suicidal. Hamas placed stores in kindergartens and hospitals where it was safe from attack as long as they didn’t go all-out jihad on Israel. Now Israel is going Old Testament on Hamas. May the Lord keep and guide them.
If the Belgians had extended the Maginot line to the sea the Germans never would have stood a chance of breaking through. However the depression hit Belgium hard and defense works were the first thing cut.
Belgium did build some defensive works but it was on the cheap. I’ve seen pictures of some of them and there was little rebar used and the concrete didn’t have enough stone and the thickness was only around 2/3 of what it should have been. Really bad job all around.
Israel needs to get Wrath of God Old Testament.
Like Soddom and Gomorrah WoGOT.
