Could I be Wrong about Gaza Casualty Rates?
You know something up when your old boss wants to have a word
Major Adam Tachi Kraft is my old boss and he now runs https://corgiglobal.com , a corporate security and investigations firm.
My original theory is that:
Israel will sustain between 3 and 16 IDF casualties per day.
HAMAS (Quassam) will sustain between 7 and 66 casualties per day.
Palestinian civilians will sustain between 13 and 40 civilian casualties per day with numbers as high as 300.
Am I right or wrong? Let me know in the comments.
Great perspectives. The problem I see is Israel will be expected to follow the rules of warfare, whereas Hamas will not. Terrorists only like rules when they can exploit those rules to their advantage. Ceasefires will be called for, but like Tet in 1968, only one side will abide by them.
The press has already found Israel at fault immediately after taking Hamas account of the rocket hitting al-Ahli Hospital's parking lot without questioning the veracity of the allegations. The press makes money on negative stories and what's more negative than a middle east war with Israel being made to be the bad guys?
The US gets very sterilized versions of violence via social media and the conventional media. Dead bodies become magically pixilated without the other senses being assaulted with the horrible smells, sounds and tastes of death. Gone are the horror that war and indiscriminate violence bring.
Will we be able to trust the casualty counts provided by either side???
The longer Israel takes preparing the more confident I feel about whatever they will do.
