I thought this was interesting.
A post on an Israeli forum highlights the Israel defence force may be based on the Australia and New Zealand army from WW-II.
Seems the Ozzie soldiers where so well regarded they became the model for there own forces.

Maybe so the point re conscription is valid however as there seems little point wasting time drilling military discipline into people who are not in for the long haul. Perhaps living there and witnessing the reality the risks there country faces daily affects the resolve of their people. I am not meaning to take away from the Oz army in saying that I’ve seen the discipline on training bases that made me happy I was a consultant and able to go home at the end of the day.
Well you wouldn't base it on the yanks...best equipped, worst disciplined.
The VC found them easily in the jungle, just listen for transistor radios blaring is what I heard....
Aussie soldiers are right up there as the worlds best of the best.
3 members of our family are in the forces, from corporal to captain.
I am appalled that they are associating Australia with their forces.
I wouldn't want any defacto association between IDF and us.
Their government is a terrorist organisation in my opinion.
Damm loved your post prior to the last three lines. It’s a pity Hamas does not emulate our people too then perhaps so many innocent people would not die through indiscriminate attacks by them.
The yanks are fun to party with for some reason they seem to have intimate knowledge of all the bars in south East Asia.
Sorry, it's just my opinion.
Can't stand deliberate attacks on civilians for demoralization, and they are both just as guilty, in spite of the propoganda by both sides.
It's at the stage where nobody remembers who shot first.
But the Israelis are the ones with the most money, so are often shooting back with much bigger bullets.
I have a friend called Kiwi you’re lucky I don’t set her on you. She has some rather firm views on the matter and I think she's in Oz now too. . (Insert axe wielding smile here) Do a search on her posts
Mind you I don’t entirely support her level of enthusiasm. I am also not going try to solve the Middle East problems in this post wish that was possible.
She is a pussy.
That Israeli Military site is the biggest load of propoganda crap I've seen in a while.
Nice of them to have a section for the armies of Antactica.
I am already banned there for telling them that Australia is spelt Australia not Auralia, and TAZmania??
