They aren't soldiers, they even dont have a warrior spirit like other nations. They never had. Their strongest point was never warfare like the Turks, they are good in telling lies, speculating, selling antiques, banking, money laundering, accounting, trade etc.
They see warfare as carpetbombing whole cities and after that riding in their tanks like sitting ducks, eating sandwiches before windows, shooting unarmed olive picking women or rock throwing kids.
The IDF is a merger of terror movements like the Haganah, Palmach, Irgun and the Stern-group. Their only war record was the etnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and killing civillians. It's all documented well in the history books.
Their groundskills are very overrated and they never fought a war alone - even now they are getting support on the ground from Navy Seals. If they didnt had a airforce or if the Palestinians had the same weapons (airforce, airdefence, navy, mechanic infantry etc), we were talking other things today.
However, they are all New Yorkers, Berliners, Philadelphians, Moscovites, so i understand why they lack the real iron motivation to fight for the cause, because they have no roots in the land.
Bye bye Berliner
