The US has been studying the Israel-Hizballah fight in 2006.  In this war Israel did not unleash it’s full might and only pushed back Hizbalalh, not defeat them.  The Media hyped it into a Muslim win, when in fact its was an Israeli Pyrrhic victory.  The US Military wants to prepare for a fight with a Hizballlah type enemy.

Short ’06 Lebanon War Stokes Pentagon Debate

A war that ended three years ago and involved not a single U.S. soldier has become the subject of an increasingly heated debate inside the Pentagon, one that could alter how the U.S. military fights in the future.

When Israel and Hezbollah battled for more than a month in Lebanon in the summer of 2006, the result was widely seen as a disaster for the Israeli military.  Soon after the fighting ended, some military officers began to warn that the short, bloody and relatively conventional battle foreshadowed how future enemies of the United States might fight.

The real lesson should be is you must unleash your all on the enemy.  The Israelis learned this in Gaza and will implement this is Lebanon 3 -yes it will happen.  The US Military must be prepared to fight these type of groups and use all it’s power.
