There's never been a war where technology overcame the factors that men and morale bring to the table.

That's not how I'm defining it faggot. If it helps you can think of it this way:
The loser always capitulates. Capitulation is how someone says "I have no morale."
There's a nice, non-circular way of looking at the picture. Instead of trying to gauge who has the most morale, just look at who lacks it, and bet against them.
Ukraine: no morale, bet against it
Israel: no morale, bet against it
USA in Iraq and Afghanistan: no morale, bet against it.
Notice that if you follow my betting strategy you'll win every time. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald
"The Teutonic Order attributed the defeat to treason on the part of Nicholas von Renys (Mikołaj of Ryńsk), commander of the Culm (Chełmno) banner, and he was beheaded without a trial.[78] He was the founder and leader of the Lizard Union, a group of knights sympathetic to Poland. According to the order, von Renys lowered his banner, which was taken as a signal of surrender and led to the panicked retreat.[79] The legend that the order was "stabbed in the back" was echoed in the post-World War I stab-in-the-back myth and preoccupied German historiography of the battle until 1945.[78]" |
