I know this is a deeply contentious topic, but do you ever see yourself doing a video outlining what you think the "correct" action(s) Israel should take are? I completely understand if you don't want to deal with the backlash of making one, but I get the sense watching your videos that you're not completely convinced that the current plan is ultimately going to lead to "success" for Israel.

While I think what Hamas did/does is obviously deplorable and I fully understand that Israel needs to defend itself. I can't help but feel long term this current approach is ultimately going to make tensions significantly worse and lead to way too many innocent deaths on both sides. Even if Hamas is "defeated" a large portion of the Palestinians are going to be radicalized and spawn a new terrorist org or just "reset" Hamas. Which obviously I condemn, but at the same time if I lost my family/friends in an airstrike and most of my city was destroyed, I would have deep rooted disdain for the country that did it. I can't help but think the super pro-Israel crowd hasn't thought this far or that some of them seem to be okay with a genocide. It just seems both the US and Israel have made similar mistakes in the past and don't appear to have recognized/learned from them.

Again, I completely understand if you don't want to touch this one directly, but it would be interesting to hear your opinions on what should be done. Maybe I'm wrong about ability to neutralize Hamas or missing some things.

I think the Army is always ready to fight the last war more than the next one. What do you think should US military be doing to be better prepared for the next conflict?
