Sir, As I stated, what the Israelis accomplished is very, very ugly.

Sir, I stand corrected.

250 Katusha rockets. You could pack 20 of them in a truck.

Sorry, that's simply pure hogwash. HIV must be transmitted through body fluid contact. It cannot survive outside a host body for more than a few minutes.

Unless you follow the Mongol example of nothing alive comes in or out of the AO, you will ALWAYS have leakage. That is just military reality. The military reality also is that Hezbollah has lost South Lebanon as a base of operations.

In a nutshell, find the enemy. Blind the enemy. Screening forces move up to find the enemy and upon finding the enemy, direct fire or deny position for the enemy to observe how your main forces are moving up to battle. And no 5 inch camera even just 500 feet high is going to replace a pair of...

ALL military operations have an OPOBJ. Otherwise, they would not be operations. At the base of it are two simple axioms. Find the enemy. Kill the enemy. In this case, the enemy left. As for widening the war, the Israelis could have done that the day their warship got hit. Hit the Bekka Valley...

Analysis contradictory. Unacceptable. Re-read. Re-think. Re-postulate.

Should've, would've, could've. The Israelis in the video lost the recee battle and sufferred for it.

Missiles neutralizing Israeli tanks ----------------------------------- By BENJAMIN HARVEY, Associated Press Writer 34 minutes ago JERUSALEM - Hezbollah's sophisticated anti-tank missiles are perhaps the guerrilla group's deadliest weapon in Lebanon fighting, with their ability to pierce...

CAS is normally associated with the screening forces. Tankers are not normally train in directing CAS and judging from the pictures, they're not ready to do that, they have to get out of the tank 1st.

All I can say is where the hell is the infantry?

The original strategic intent was to create a buffer zone all the way to the Litani. They've done that. Not pretty. Not good. But it's done. What they should have done was to race to the Litani, block the Hezbollah's LOCs with force and then reduce them at pace. Instead, they tried cutting the...

This is SUPPOSED to be a MILITARY forum. OPerational OBJectives.

From a military perspective, the Israelis got all their OPOBJs but their OPOBJs suck.

How much of it is DU and how much of it is the local bug? DU effects has been known for over a 60 years, long before the advent of DU ammo. Uranium miners have been exposed to the stuff for alot longer than us soldiers. And the percentage of miners developing these symptons are far lower than...

Go back 100-300 years. At least a quarter of all troops sent overseas die of disease or sickness. The simple fact back then was that troops had no immunity to some local bugs. Why should they? Why others were not affected? The bugs didn't get them and maybe they've built up immunity.

LMAO!!! You know this would not be the 1st time in history that the enemy knows of our plans but the commander doesn't. What is known is that the British 22SAS and the Canadian JTFII were ready to start going into Kosovo on the night of the Serb surrender. Their jobs were to start lasering...

Parihaka, you want to see just how he can't admit he knows crap all? And yet, you continue to demonstrate your ignorance as the end-all, be-all of military knowledge After-action reports for that war has been around for 10 years and yet, people still are either too lazy to read or too...

You mean like Muslims and terrorists? The Muslims who can tell the difference are in a minority and truth be told, most Jews are pro-Israelis which in practicallity, your two religions are going to be at each other's throats.
