It is one thing to drop bombs or artillery on a population without air defense or counter battery units. It is an entirely different animal to put troops on the ground to engage entrenched forces.

Based on the the image above, which showed up in my spam today with a plea to kick in some cash so Israeli soldiers can buy body armor, it appears the Israeli Army is not ready for prime time. When you advertise yourself as the greatest military power in the Middle East, this is not a good look. What has Israel been doing with all the U.S. financial assistance sent to bolster its defense? I initially was inclined to believe that this was just some opportunistic grift. But then I saw the report, published last Monday, in the Times of Israel. It appears the shortage is genuine.
