Gen. Grynkewich: Attacks on Civilian Populations Often “Harden Resolve” in War

Gen. Alexus Grynkewich just summed up a hard truth about war in one line: attacks on civilian populations often “harden resolve.” The quote is gaining traction because it cuts straight through decades of arguments about whether bombing or striking civilian areas can break an enemy’s will. Grynkewich’s view is the opposite: history usually shows that civilian suffering creates stronger resistance, not surrender.
