A retired General from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) says “\u201cWe have lost the ability to field an effective army and have become a one-dimensional aerial power that cannot win a war on its own.\u201d<\/p>\n
General Yitzhak Brick went even farther.\u00a0 He says “The current situation of the land forces is tragic, they are not ready for war. Emergency supplies are not available, exercises have stopped and the battalions have not trained in years. There is also no weapons training and education, and\u00a0the army is not capable of carrying out an\u00a0attack.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Brick added that Israel\u2019s ground forces and reserve system have been constantly ignored: \u201cWe have lost the ability to field an effective army and have become a one-dimensional aerial power that cannot win a war on its own.\u201d<\/p>\n In his view, Israel\u2019s ground forces are not ready for war. The warning follows a series of polls showing that a large portion of Israeli citizens have lost faith in their country\u2019s future. This was particularly evident over the last year, when the people were divided over political and judicial issues.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my role as general, I have visited more than 1,400 units and spoken to tens of thousands of commanders and soldiers, three to four times a week, four hours in each unit. I know the army on the ground better than anyone in the Israel Defense Forces,\u201d Brick said years ago. \u201cI have seen soldiers who do not take care of their weapons before leaving the base. No army in the world behaves like this. The soldiers carry their smartphones with them everywhere. Commands are sent via WhatsApp groups. These phones are being tracked by the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only that, but commands are said to have been sent via email and then deleted, meaning no follow-up action is possible. \u201cOur system has lost all control. Have we gone crazy? I cannot sleep at night. Our ground forces and armored corps are not ready for war,\u201d Brick continually warned.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I present to you here is something you will not hear from the top IDF officials. Not only do many of the commanders not know anything, but even those who do know are afraid to speak out lest they be punished,\u201d he wrote, calling on members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to speak to the rank-and-file soldiers and address the issue. \u201cLet them show you what is going on, share with them their problems and difficulties. It will not be the division, brigade, and battalion commanders from whom you will learn about the reality that exists in the field. You should learn it from those for whom it is the routine of their life\u2026 Their statements are the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Israel\u2019s entire security apparatus has failed and relied too heavily on technology, with an unhealthy dash of arrogance. But as is typically the case, those who don\u2019t go with the flow and call out the glaring problems are dismissed as lunatics, like General Brick, who saw the danger before anyone else.\u00a0 He seems to have been ignored.<\/p>\n
