I suggest an additional reason why we have not won any war since returning the Temple Mount to Jordanian Muslim authority (1967) – the tremendous hubris of military elite to claim credit for the stunning victory of the Six Day War.
The belief of “My strength and my power has created all this.” (Devarim 8:17) plays a huge part in creating inappropriate self-confidence and arrogance.
Yes, there were military and intel blunders of catastrophic proportions to explain losing wars, but the bottom-line failure was a spiritual one.
We needed to learn “Unless G-d protects the city, in vain is the watchman wakeful.” (Psalm 127:1)
