Neat stuff. I've read a lot of books on the IDF including their tanks/infantry, frogmen, special forces, and air force. They're pretty hardcore about it all since their very survival could be threatened at any time.

As they said, if they lose one war, Israel will cease to exist. Israel also allows non-citizens to join their military.

Great vid of four F16s (with four F15s flying backup) taking out Iraqi reactor at Osirak in 81.

i've heard their aircraft can fly circles around ours because of better software.

According to some posts, is it true that the Jews really control the world?

With their control of oil, I'm surprised they only control the rest and not the whole.
