No.
The lesson of The Red War wasn't one of Light vs Dark.
The lesson of The Red War was the fact that Zavala is slowly failing as a leader, and part of that failure is his being so rigid in his outlook, and being unable/unwilling to see what is really going on.
Think about it. Zavala is so focused on "Defending the City"...that he let the risk that the Red Legion posed go unchallenged until it LITERALLY showed up over City airspace and started bombing the City back to the Stone Age. That is a CATASTROPHIC failure of leadership....one that failed to learn from the NEAR catastrophe that was the narrow victory at Twilight Gap.
[i]"Fixed Fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of Man. If mountain ranges and oceans can be overcome, anything built by Man can be overcome."
----Gen. George S. Patton. [/i]
IOW, Zavala's instinctive-and-predictable tendency to respond to any threat by turtling behind the City Walls nearly lead to Human extinction. Walls mean nothing to an enemy that can fly over them, knock them down, and land their forces behind them.
The other lesson of the Red War---imo---is that it was a test by the Traveler. A test to see if we would stand and fight for everyone (including Her) or would we just react and take care of our own. The Guardians intially did the latter....and failed the test. Only when we showed that we were willing to risk everything to save others, did She finally intervene and show that She was awake.....
...but that She had always had the ability to free Herself from what Ghaul had done.

Okay. It seems we have your answer. Mind telling me what the question was?

<I'd say that Zavala's failure was attacking The Immortal rather than the Traveler Cage. If he gave the order to destroy the cage there's nothing the Red Legion could've done and we would've won. Ghaul got so unbelievably lucky even with the Nine's interference it's insane.>
