> why does israel's military always feel so unimpressive against hezbollah? hamas are basically xbox bros doing the best they can with slingshots and bottle rockets. hezbollah aren't under the thumb of constant idf/mossad surveillance, kidnapping, imprisonment, blockades, etc. so they're free to acquire real military weaponry, and get real military training. israel uses conscription, which is fine for boosting morale during peace time and fostering national unity. but once the dying starts the plebs quickly come to resent conscription and morale plummets. its so bad in israel right now that a few months ago they finally started to conscript the ultra orthodox who are the apex of the cowardly feckless jews. the orthodox are going to abandon tanks in lebanon as soon as a rock hits one.
