IDF's Flickr Page lured me in with images of the Merkava, but the highlight of this photo stream is the Lions of the Valley "coed" infantry unit. Why didn't I post the pics? Because they look like a millennial camping trip with airsoft as the entertainment.
The pics I saw didn't inspire confidence and didn't make believe that these people could go toe to toe with Hezbollah and win. As a matter of fact I would bet money that if they were to spearhead a push into Palestinian neighborhoods they would be sent back home with their legs between their tales.
Don't believe me? Go to the IDF Flickr Page and take a look for yourself. This is not the IDF that won for the Israeli people. Quite honestly I fear for them. I can easily see the IDF getting defeated on the battlefield...by conventional means.
I am a supporter of Israel but the decisions being made fill me with dread. I wonder if they'll even exist in another 50 years unless they make some serious changes fast.
