it's a matter of national pride plus it's a matter of individual caliber.
no one can compare our captains and soldiers to anyone else.
they achieved excellence by fighting battles practically bare handed.
i would like to see how the american soldiers would have fared in nahr al bared using the exact same BS equipment as we had versus numerous well dug-in, veteran, very well equipped, suicidal and organized foes.
the lebanese army has some very refined captains and soldiers, we just need to supplement them with the proper equipment and keep training them.
and most importantly, the army should keep itself clean from the very few opportunist unloyal individuals that try to infiltrate it.
if we strive for a professional army, we will have the best one around. |
I agree with you. I have moreover a very deep faith in the lebanese soldiers and officers. The truth is that, every time they were ordered to engage in a battle, they never disappointed us. There are so many examples which are a source of proud, one of the biggest being the LAF resistance against the militias and the syrian invasion...
