“After finally being called to emergency reserve duty two weeks ago and much indecision on the part of the officers of how we would be utilized in the raging conflict, my unit was assigned a complicated mission. We were to penetrate some ten kilometers into Lebanon and root out and engage Hezbollah guerrillas that were concentrated in bunkers on a mountain slope facing northern Israel. Intelligence and aerial photographs described a site that was heavily fortified and defended by several cells of well-trained and equipped jihadists.

The decision was made that the launchers could only be destroyed and the guerrillas eliminated by ground troops.”

    They were going to send reservists in to do this?

    No wonder there is talk of a coup d’etat.
