Clint, if you don't understand military matters, that's no crime. But at the same time, I have no obligation to try and educate you. Frankly, I don't think that's a useful task, as my impression is that you are wedded to your opinions. My comments were entirely straightforward, I don't see your problem with them, and I don't see that you've offered a meaningful rebuttal.

I've served as a tank commander for 3 years in the IDF, now I'm in the reserve. I have known people from all parts of the IDF, military industry, intelligence agencies, and many more. I also had and still have some, access to classefied material that helps my judgement. In this thread you can find me bringing statistics, precedents, and simple logic based on knowlegde of past events and understanding of the modern military balance in the region. You, however, brought nothing but your *gut feeling*, which is based on nothing but your view of Israel. So please, if you want to stick to your beliefe that *I don't like that country = It is incompetent in combat*, that is your problem, not mine.
Perhaps you should do something more useful with your time? It strikes me that you are wasting a lot of your energy on Israel threads. You could work on your Vinland timeline, which I'm sure is unique and groundbreaking and clearly meticulously researched. I'm certain everyone is waiting for that.
In any event, I respectfully decline to engage. Feel free to argue with Featherstone and others.
Besides trolling, what does this segment contribute to this discussion?
