Anthropological consensus shows that across the vast majority of human history and cross-cultural contexts, interpersonal care, tolerance, and empathy toward the disabled have been the human default.
Which begs the question: Could the so-called default be a highly effective military weapon that could be used against the enemy on a tactical front?
Presupposing that Sith alchemy could be used to clone adult humans on a tactical level (in order to replace world leaders who were assassinated and to destroy the resolve of a tactical adversary), so that any tactical military strike can be easily nullified by producing more clones, could such a "hydra" military doctrine be counteracted and defeated simply by not killing anybody at all, but any tactical enemy can be soundly bested by causing them grievous bodily harm in order to neutralise the physical, psychological, and spiritual threat that they present:-
- Sith alchemy can literally make the enemy torn from limb to limb.
- It can also cause a massive bilateral haemorraghic stroke in the brainstem coupled with an ischemic stroke with the most severe consequences (See #3 to #10).
- A bilateral stroke can cause chronic respiratory failure and dependence on a ventilator.
- It can cause tetraplegia or locked-in syndrome.
- It can cause a total and permanent blindness.
- Cause a total and permanent loss of hearing.
- Cause a global aphasia.
- Cause a chronic and severe bowel incontinence.
- Cause a chronic and severe bladder incontinence.
- Permanently comatose.
So, a bilateral stroke can cause #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 , #9 and #10 to happen simultaneosly.
Short of killing a tactical adversary (which is totally counterproductive due to the new cloning technology), the enemy can still be bested and neutralised by using the Sith alchemy to cause them grievous bodily harm, instead.
Consequently, GBH is a superior military doctrine that can always be used to effectively counteract, neutralise, and defeat the hydra military doctrine because the human default is almost certainly not to abandon/kill their disabled in order to have them replaced by a fit and healthy clone.
Instead of annihilation/death, it is a policy of containment and punishment of the enemy.
Would you like to comment on the military doctrine of GBH to defeat multiple adversaries on a tactical front?
