An American soldier contrasts the U.S. Army with the Israeli army

[jaibi]

Well, certain and particular things are targeted and eliminated. The recruits aren't all suddenly washed clean of all color. What needs to be changed is changed. The treatment of women and ethnic prejudice is something which was not targeted. If the US military wants then they can quite easily eliminate that too. Look at the Pakistani military, while the populace is divided moronically on ethnic lines the military isn't. And of course, no method gives a 100% success rate every time.

Actually they've tried that quite hard but have not been really successful at it. I would like to quote Gen. Karamat on this as he summed it up perfectly: ' the military is after all is a mirror image of the civil society from which it is drawn.' (Mahar Aziz, Military Control in Pakistan, 2008)

Thing is simple, discipline is must! u dont wanna end up like Israeli Army do u?

Without discipline nothing is strong the fact of the matter is we will see Israeli Mumbo Jumbo when they face someone of real merit.

People who serve in Israeli army go there because of patriotism and motivation. Not because of money or force. Therefore there is no point to push and discipline much those who have personal motivation.

In some units like armor where discipline is needed for safety discipline is stronger.

It doesn't matter who sent what units, they were small in numbers and the IDF still outnumbered them. The Jordanian King also tipped of Israel of a joint invasion with Syria and Egypt and the main thing that made this out to be a defeat was because Arabs didn't do what they could have done. Which they should have neutralized the whole army and nation. But, they had limitations and prevented armed Muslims from around the world from crossing into the border.

At the same time they accepted ceasefires enforced by the UN which in reality were created to let Israel re-arm and reposition. This is when Israel decided to occupy the West Bank. That's why people view it as an unjustified occupation. The war was coming to an end but they took advantage of the ceasefire and went on the offensive.

While the USA was giving intelligence to Israel on Egyptian battalions in the Sinai. And while European nations were arming Israel consistently.

Had the Arab leaders had a unified real goal they could have set out for it. Even the troops themselves, I know a few personally. I know Iraqi troops who fought in the war they told us they were making advances in Jerusalem and the Syrian army started bombing them and preventing them from going any further.

This is well know, in history it's recorded as the Syrian army commander ordering them to stay neutral for unknown reasons.

Israelis outnumbered their enemies? Wow...the Kool-Aid is strong in this one.

Not in terms of population, we're speaking of numbers of forces deployed, jackass.

So why'd you deny it you lame conservative? It's so funny the House thinks they will get to pass the bill defunding healthcare. Good luck with that, it's not gonna happen. Lots of small business in this country relies on that.

While I often support Repub foreign policy, I tend towards Demo on domestic. I personally would like an old Roman style Republic. One Consul for domestic affairs, another for foreign. As far as public health and food-stamps, I am against the Republican vote (I understand the thinking, desperation has driven a lot of domestic innovation). But the Democrats have been weak on foreign policy as of late (not historically so). While abuse of social programs is all too real, starving kids isn't the answer.

LOL, don't take my harshness seriously. My fathers business relies on the health care program. He provides transportation for dialysis patients and thanks to God he has been getting new contracts to keep him going another couple years so he can support my college studies. I support democrats mostly when it comes to domestic policies. Although in some few cases I lean with the republicans. I don't actually consider myself either. As for foreign policy, I think they both don't make the greatest decisions. In the end the congress votes on it so I view our foreign policy as the whole US government foreign policy as a whole. It has a lot to deal with our economy. Just as after the Second World War, we provided aid for infrastructure to allied nations but at the same time only we could provide those services so it came back home. Today I think a new era of these same wars is playing. And it's not good.
