In the past few days, the word prudent war has become popular, and I have taken a special look at Sun Tzu's Art of War, which refers to non-profit and non-action, non-use, and non-danger and non-war. It is said that Sun Tzu believed that the holy monarch and good generals should carefully consider waging war, and believed that it was an important way to stabilize the country and preserve the army. However, Senior Colonel Hou Anyu's idea of "prudent warfare" put forward at the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing personally feels very inappropriateSince ancient times, all about war has been talked about by diplomats, politicians have decided, and soldiers are just a word.
Then, as a colonel in the army and a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, it is extremely inappropriate to put forward the word "cautious war". Military personnel are born to fight, and fighting war is the fundamental reason for the existence of the army. There are only two things that an army can do: one is to prepare for war, and the other is to fight. Therefore, all the research of the military should be centered on the two words of preparation and fighting, and the more thorough the study, the better, instead of studying whether it should be fought and whether it can be fought, which is not the duty of a soldier, still less should it be a soldier's argument.
Soldiers are born to fight, and prudence has never been considered by soldiers, and when they think about it, they will be timid, and there is no difference between cowardice and fear of war. Our army has always been a revolutionary fearless spirit, and even more so, a revolutionary heroic spirit. From the agrarian revolution to the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and then to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the army has never hesitated or been cautious. No matter how great the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, how bad the conditions, and how unfavorable the situation was, our army survived. If the cautious mentality prevails in the army, then how can we win one victory after another? Talking about prudent warfare here today, are you sorry for the martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the war years?
