The article discusses how winning a war quickly and decisively can actually make it harder for the winning side to learn from the experience. It uses the example of Israel's victory in the Six Day War in 1967 and the challenges they faced afterwards. The 1973 War showed that a weaker opponent can still achieve strategic success by exploiting the weaknesses of a stronger enemy. This happened when Egypt's president, Anwar Sadat, used Israel's vulnerabilities to his advantage. The article also draws a parallel between Israel's 1967 victory and the United States' success in 1991, showing that high expectations after a quick win can leave a country vulnerable to political manipulation by a savvy opponent.
