That is your biased opinion..
Says the poster child for objectivity.
you can keep it to yourself..
I prefer to share it and I think I do so fairly articulately, thank you.
from every battle and war the Egyptians emerged victorious..
Excluding 1947, 1956, Yemen, and 1967. Sure. Let us also not forget several deployments to Africa that ended in failure.
Doesn't change my point though and your attempt at deflecting to another subject entirely is rather telling. It's a sort of intellectual dishonesty that only those with a serious case of tunnel vision resort to.
.even after the 67' "defeat", war never stopped till the Sinai was taken back in 1973 and the permanent settlement in December 1974
You can't even bring yourself to write defeat without putting it in quotation marks. 1967 is the single most one sided battering of any contemporary war that simultaneously shattered the Egyptian Armed Forces and lost a serious amount of Egyptian territory and sovereignty.
It was the result of serious strategic blunders by political brass (also military figures) and failures throughout the military in terms of training, armament, and readiness.
It's funny, in an attempt to disprove my comment, which was focused solely on the tactical, you've made another incredibly apparent. That the Egyptian Armed Forces and the state have been and continue to be strategically incompetent much of the time.
Much of the tactical and strategic problems we still have now were also evident over the war of attrition and 1973. Namely, the centralisation of command, micromanagement, and poorly trained personnel. The result of the war doesn't mean that lessons can not and should not be learned.
They haven't and the lack of success in current operations is testament to that.
I will believe you if you can show me any other nation on this planet who has faced some entity fully and openly supported, either by France and England in 48' and 56' or by the US in 67' and 1973..
US support for Israel did not start until 1973. Again, it is intellectually and academically dishonest to argue otherwise. Strategic blundering is not something to be proud of.
I know 56 has made its way to become part of Egyptian mythology but it really was strategically naive. Coincidentally, the invasion of Egypt by the Brits and French is textbook expeditionary stuff, we could learn from it.
Also again, this doesn't disprove my point.
modern Egyptian armed forces is put on the individual soldier..
In that they are individually poorly trained, sure.
The majority of Egyptian conscripts and NCOs only have primary and secondary education. While in service they don't earn any more qualifications and are not part of the intellectual discussions that happen within forces.
The Egyptian Officer Corps has in effect privatised all educational potential and have largely contained knowledge to themselves.
NCOs are limited to Staff Sjt positions with slim chances of commissions and without graduate programs that aid in their development.
Dilapidated infrastructure, widespread abuse, and every so often murders. That and a system which uses military prison as a disciplinary measure.
The lack of medical evacuation procedures, casualty first aid procedures/equipment, counter- IED protection/procedures/equipment, and combat SAR has meant that a significant amount of lives have been lost in current operations when thy could have been saved. I'm not sure if that's an example of the sort of well being the Armed Forces promises.
45 days basic training. Learn to march, salute, and bound on terrain. If you're lucky you get to fire 30 rounds during your entire time. Fucking world class that is.
Look, I've had enough of your bullshit. If it's not idiocy then its blind propaganda. Along with your continued re-posting you made what was once a healthy thread that was open to actual insightful opinions a fucking chore to visit for me and others. You offer nothing other than tired replies that excuse failure which have continually cost lives through nothing more than incompetence and negligence.
It might be a shock to you but some people, with actual military experience or relevant academic backgrounds, may just have something more important to say than "kheer agnad al ard".
