All reserves and soldiers with sufficient experience can point to significant waste in the IDF, i.e., food. In addition, we are also hearing about outmoded methods of buying what's required for a military to exist on a day-by-day basis without the fundamental planning and best-buy methodology available. In other words, the IDF, as far as its economics and marketing goes, is an institutional troglydite. Now the Knesset Finance Committee is trying to force the IDF to employ up-to-date methodologies and the IDF reacts by putting us all at risk by refusing to alter its financial systems and curbing training. In effect, the IDF is saying: If you continue to try and make us streamline our atrophied methods, we will no longer be responsible for defense of the nation. In turn, I think we must brick in modern financial experts who will clean up that end of the military and retire those leaders who obstruct much needed change.
