Look at his record and it tells about a fellow who toes the line and is not what Israel needs at this time. You need a guy who can think outside of the box and doesnt owe his life to the company store. You need a guy who is not afarid to ruffle some feathers Israel is facing some real shit in the next while. I hope he can do it...if not Israel and my two sons there are cooked.

i guess the next war will tell.

on the man's record. Gantz has plenty of experience in combat command positions, dealing directly with Nasrallah, Syria and with the political theatre in Israel and the US. He has a long history of brilliance.

in attention to you, our commander!!

Like I said Israel is staring down a loaded gun. Egypt is on hold and who knows where thats going to turn. Jordan is not far behind. Iran is in the wings and the USa is leaving Iraq..The eastern front will be wide open for an invasion. I remember 67 like yesterday..The entire world sat on its ass while waiting for Israel to be destroyed. Levi Eshkol after waiting for weeks to react gave the order and the rest is history. Of course Israel at that time was leaner meaner and tougher. It was not a 'twitter' nation. It didnt have an entitlement attitude The leadership at the time were in many cases holocaust survivors,tough and determined to succeed. People like my late dad...an Auschwitz survivor and a soldier in the IDF in 48 The people knew it was do or die. Are you ready to rumble? Thats the question you have to ask the people. I ask that of my sons when I call them I ask are you ready to fight to live in an Israel? They say "yes Dad..we are soldiers in the IDF..Thats what we may have to do". I close the phone and I look at the websites, trying to figure out whats going on...Then I go to work

IS the best man for the job, NO DOUBT. A foot soldier, a paratrooper, a logistical expert, a commander on many levels, and a deep understanding of the US/Israel relations, on the political as well as the military level. WHAT ELSE ?
