making lemonade
just learning about this crazy woman kind of cute though
as for the anonymous poster, probably just an Israeli? troll
also, gotta say, did some maneuvers with the Syrians back in 90, many years ago now I know, but you train & fight(mostly train) along side people and you develop lifelong impressions
gotta say, the Syrian Army impressed me, professional, skilled, no bullshit
this was in direct opposition to those Saudi pukes that were far better equiped than the Syrians, had us(the USA) to rely on for back up and yet still exhibited sloth in training & COWARDICE IN BATTLE
I really cannot wait for those f***ers to fall, I don't care to who, they sort of represent all that is wrong with the region
sorry, getting off tangent though, what I mean about the Syrian army is, well, (@ the time) I respected them, they taught me that not all Arab nations "field" bad armies
I began to think of the difference between them and Israel, unlike with other Arab countries, was one of the tech of their weaponry being vastly differenent
and NOT SKILL level or courage in using such
sadly, this lead me to believe, as a former soldier, that they would not engage upon "wholesale" war against their own people
because, yes, even through all I have seen and done, I still equate "Good soldiering" with being a "Good soldier"
but that is my heart speaking, the truth is that "good soldiering" means following orders, which is simply why this civil war has gone on so long
I understand this and to be honest, I don't think it would be much different in the USA, as a matter of fact, I give the odds to the U.S. armed forces versus any possible internal rebellion, unless a significant amount of American soldiers defected to the other side
so yeah, Syria and my "USA" aint so different
Clearly it is your prejudiced heart and not your educated head speaking, Robby. I am shocked by your statements. Israeli troll? Seriously. Are the Israelis all just a bunch of bullies? The Palestinians are innocent? And Iran has a good reason to want to blast Israel off the planet? I'm inferring here. Am I wrong to do so?
Better weapons accounts for Israel having a cohesive and intelligent defense force? IQ has nothing to do with it? Check out these stats when you get a chance. Perhaps having the most brilliant and strategic minds on the planet concentrated in one small nation has something to do with its superior military force?
