Yep, him. Mea culpa for the typo in his surname. But one needs to look at the root: the definition and measure of victory is breaking the enemy's will to fight, not of his capacityto fight [where's a will, there's a way]. If one pushes the hezbollai away from the border, they'd use longer range rockets, or resort to suicide bombers, or do something else equally nasty. Thus the only meaningful measure of success against them is not the number of destroyed rocket launchers or of the rockets shot down, nor captured equipment or razed buildings, not even the number of captured excremists [later they'll get exchanged, and lopsidedly] - it is only and exclusively the number of hezbollai body bags. And body bags were the specialty of the late Gy. Sgt. Hathcock.
