A battalion commander's anger
Btw, the bit about the "gruntisation" of the IDF brought on by the police-like/counter-terror necessities of the two successives intifadas fits well with what some analysts and writers have said; IE, the emphasis on light infantry probably has lowered the standards of others arms.
I hope the IDF will emerge stronger from this soul-searching.
