Well, for the military buff, Israel's army is awesome. It is, man for man, the best in the world. It's sad they are forced to be that way, but one can still admire it.

Umm, they couldn't even beat Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon?

Depends on what you consider a win? I know there were allot more dead Hezbollah than Israelis. Yes Israel didn?t complete objectives, but no doubt I would rather have to fight on the Israeli side. They had way less casualties.

Yeah, but I mean they were just fighting guerrillas. After that performance do you really think they're that much better than the armies of any other Western nation? Rather, if it had been the US or UK army in their situation, do you think they would've done worse?

I don't really want to get into this argument, but "just" fighting guerrillas is alot more difficult fighting an organized army, especially if you are trying to minimize civillian casulties.

Fair enough, but do you think the US or UK army would have done worse in the same situation?

That's fine. So assuming the US or UK had the same number of troops, they would've done worse?
 
I was there on a 1 week port call back in the early 90 or was it in 89. In the short time i was there, I swam in the Dead Sea, did the whole religious tour thingy with a few navy buddies, and fell in love with the country.

It was more with the people then with the scenery. Whenever we went out to check out the club and bar scene, we had a great time with the locals. They know how to enjoy whatever moments of peace they have to the fullest, and of course, Israeli women are HOT!!! I'd definitely like to make another trip out there someday.
 
So....what I get from those pictures is that there is a shortage of young men in Israel....

...and my bags are packed. See ya in Israel!

Umm, have you studied Israel's history?

And you cannot win a guerrilla war unless you completely decimate the entire population and kill or capture every man of fighting age... something that has not been done since WWII.

totaly but are those in israel?
Click to expand...

That is Turkey's military.

Turkey has a very identical military to Israel.
Turkey has the advantage in number of soldiers.
Israel has the advantage in nuclear weapons.

Good news is both of those nations are military lovers and are exchanging weapons technology.

Hitler STARTED the war with aggression. Please, think about it. War is NEVER a good thing. Yes, it is necessary at times, but never a good thing.
