Interesting article, anyone who's fought in the Mideast care to comment?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Anybody who has played a Arab-Israeli wargame can tell you arabs suck ass.

Huh.  Apparently you can read it in Hungarian.  I wonder what the purpose of that would be.

The article would have really benefitted from a longer discussion of the counter example of Yom Kippur.

Yes.  But not for posting 12-year old articles.

I wonder if the Army knows more about how Arabs fight now then they did in 1999.

Arabs lose wars because Islam keeps them in the Dark Ages. Duh.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

That article was published before EUOT existed.  :lol:


EDIT:  I am not doubting it was posted there I just realized how old it was.

Or the Soviets, on who's military many of the Arab armies based themselves on.
