On paper you cannot but in reality that is what's happening.

If an Army is afraid to stand against any other army, then they will surrender... Look at history, since thousands of years ago it's always the same in every war, but also if you read history you'll see how small armies have beaten big armies...

A good army is the one that stands even against the strongest army and gives his life for defending its citizens...

If you all see that our army should not open fire against Israel than you don't really know what a real army is...

Thank you!!

Theory is nice but as stated earlier, there are political realities that determine the current role of the army.

We have an elected parliament and army who decide when we go to war. We are underresourced to begin a war with israel but in the event that they wage one on us, yes we should unite as one to defend our land.

But how do you expect me to unite with you in an event you may instigate without consulting me first.

Define the word "attack" and now the words "instigate" and "begin a war" habibi, because as far as i know, everyone has the right to defend himself at any moment in time without consulting or taking prior consent from anyone, and without having people like you telling him that they can't back him because he was the one who "attacked"...and such empty rhetoric, that only benefits the enemy in times of war.

Clear enough habibi?

The Army needs years of training and tons of new equipments in order to face israel. That can't be achieved in months. The Lebanese governments should have prepared the army to face the enemy starting from 1990, Whether HA was fighting or not.

Example of Lebanese army fight against Israeli commando:

should our army join the battle ?

No, the Lebanese army, in it's current situation, can't stand in front of the 4th strongest army in the world. That was what we are trying to tell you for 4 years.

I say we supply the southern neighbour with unlimited amount of good quality Lebanese hash and we can forget about war.

Fair enough?

Again I ask:

What is the role of any army in the world?
