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.
Hey everyone, I am just passing by this thread and I just had the urge to crap all over the highlighted part before I go.
k thnx bai!

When was the last time Israel (or any nation) carpet bombed an entire city?
I thought not.
He said minimize, not completely stop. If you want to keep your soldiers in and among civilians and use them as shields you have to expect some civilian casualties.
Israel went too far during their war with Lebanon.
Why does this happen? When you are behind a desk and all you care about are your political ratings, you will give the order to do whatever necessary to win the war. You don't care about who dies on the other side. You care about your chances of winning an election or staying popular.
If the most powerful nations of the world started to elect some civilized individuals then maybe none of this brutality would happen in the first place.
Yes, my post is a direct attack at the PM of Israel.
