Scorched Earth Policy

The Scorched Earth Policy is a wartime strategy used by a military to destroy anything that could be useful to the enemy while retreating from an area. This can include burning crops, destroying infrastructure, and pulling down buildings to prevent the opposing forces from benefiting from them. The idea is to leave nothing of value behind, making it harder for the enemy to advance or sustain themselves. Historically, this tactic has been seen in various conflicts to weaken opponents and protect one's own strategic interests.
