The Lebanese Defense Minister has invented a new concept: the suicide army…
There’s a general consensus here that the Minister of Defense’s statement that the Lebanese Army will fight alongside Hezbollah in the case of a ground invation, is at best a mistake and at worst an insanity.
Dispatching the Lebanese army to fight will transform this war into a conventional war where Israelis have an upper (way upper) hand. It will convert our armed forces (who will eventually hold the peace) into sitting ducks. It will also give an excuse for the Israelis to bomb all of Lebanon, since this would become a country-vs-country war.
Your Excellency, please keep your opinions to yourself!
