One month and ten days of this war between the USA and Israel on one side and Iran on the other side has once again proved a few points that the will to survive and no fear of death will eventually triumph over the will to occupy and make people slaves or make them surrender to your will. On the other hand, this conflict also makes it clear that if you lack technology, power, and military might, you may eventually win against a bigger, stronger, and vastly more powerful enemy. Still, the destruction in your own country after the end of the war will be catastrophic, and it will take decades and a huge sum of money to recover from that. In other words, you need both; you need progress, but that doesn't mean you lose the will and appetite to fight and, if needed, die for your own country. So, the will to fight and obliterate your enemy, plus investing in education, technology, and military might, have to go along. You ignore one you pay a very heavy price.
