The Arab Way of War

Winds of Change: "Straight Scoop About Iraqi Military From Onsite Marine." It's quite depressing.

The whole post and the comments remind me of a story from an American soldier in Saudi Arabia. This guy was training Saudis. He asked one Arab guy, maybe a platoon leader, to drop and give ten to show the rest how its done. Instead of being prompt, the Arab was offended.

"I will not lower myself in front of my inferiors," was his response. Then, he walked away like a little girl.

Is it any wonder that tiny Israel has kicked their collective ass in every military engagement over the years?
