Israely army is the only army in the world when 18 year old kids are given access to best tanks and weaponry in the world (Merkava 4 beats Abrahams 10 out of 10. A' tank can't drive in mountain regions for more than 2 hours, because it breaks down. It has worse armour and its shells can't penetrate M' 4 tank. As someone that knows that issue from a "very close point of view" my words can be trusted. At least i hope so). 24 year boys are captains. For consideration- in germany tank commanders are 40 year old men. The army fights for 56 years each day. Israel is a state when a large part of its population had killed someone or participated in a gunfight.

Where do i live????

Neverless I like it.

"24 year old boys as captains"? Hmmm, doesn't sound so wise to me... there are a number of reasons the German tank commanders are older Black Baron, a few of which being accumulated wisdom, experience and restraint.

Well, wise or no Hierophant, no army in the world had ever surpassed our victory in 1967. Remember-experience comes with fighting, which germany did not have for a long time.

Your point being? Oh, you got great tanks. Right. Young guys (18 years old) get to drive powerful tanks. Great. They get to blow off some people while in it. Great. What a way to grow up. Right.

not to sound rude, but is this really something to brag about? I mean come one, sure your army lets younger people drive tanks, and be captins, but what ever happened to earning your rights? and how much respect does a 24 year old man gain by being one of the youngest captins in the world? of course I do not approve of 18 year olds driving tanks either, but then again...I am not much on wars either only when there is no other way would I see killing another human being as being valid.....

Well, luckily, other countries don't need to fight so much. Rather than point this out as an interesting thing or a cool thing, maybe you should realise that it's a bad thing.
