And lessons for America.
On October 13, 2023, Mosaic published an article by Aaron MacLean, a veteran of America’s war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and one of America’s smartest military analysts, on strategic options facing the Jewish state in one of its darkest moments. He recently returned from a visit to Israel, where he embedded with the IDF in Gaza and observed fighting on the northern front.
