Keith Pavlischek on Proportionality in Warfare and problems with "Double Intention"

This takes a good while to read, but it is worth it. The author discusses the common abuses of the concept of proportionality in just war theory to condemn superior fighting forces and their victories. I'm not going to excerpt it because Pavlischek, a retired U.S. Marine colonel, is building a strong, careful argument and it should be taken as a whole. I will say that it makes me wish all the more that people would consider how evil it is that Hamas and other terrorist groups routinely use civilians as human shields and how sad it is that this well-demonstrated fact is just as routinely ignored in the media.
