#1 The foundation of the Gates of Fire Battalion was mocked in Lebanon.

Those in Lebanon who mock should read Sun Tzu, The Art of War. They'd also best read recent Israeli history of war as well. But then forget the reading and continue to mock.

#2 Interesting new unit shows the fundamental difference between a regional power, like Israel, and a global power, like the US, in their military forces. The Israelis have one area they going to fight in and have decided to specialize in wringing every advantage in fine-tuning for conflict there. The USA plans on fighting everywhere so are units are more ... generic.
