No ,imo brod is trying to polish a stool with a shiny glitter and doing his best to "Syrianize" Egypt , although they are totally different as the Egyptian army is not sectarian , but composed of the all Egyptians 

Plus the signals coming from Syria are not encouraging the Egyptian ppl to portray Syria as a good example as they assign alqaeda members with bloody CV controlled by the Turks as ruling ranks.
