      Sure. I have always admired Israeli army.. there location is not exactly the best possible and they're outnumbered all the time.

      But now I wanted to learn about this to details.

              Israel was former in 1948, and 6 day war was in -68, IIRC.

                      Lebanon fiasco? Lebanon was a moral victory of the Hizballah. As far as the IDF is concerned it acted almost flawlessly.

                        Perhaps the toughest of the wars occured in '48, though it's also the one I know least about.

                          Definitely the toughest. 1% of the population dead.

                          In some cases new immigrants were getting down from the ships, given weapons and sent to battle.

                              If you live, you earned your citizenship. If you die, well there are worse ways, such as dehumanizing old age.
