Lastly I don’t know if anyone is watching the Syria fight on youtube but it is very interesting. Not for the shock value but for tactics that are employed on both sides and the culture of both sides fighting.
Some things that I have observed and I am sure the CIA and DOD are studying indepthly…
– Syria’s army are using tanks with no supporting infantry.
– The rebels are getting good hits in on tanks in urban enviroments. T-80s are getting eaten up by RPGs. Partly because there is no infantry support.
– The Rebels spend more time shouting “Allah Akbar” than aiming thier damn weapons. I kid you not… If it wasn’t so pathetic it would be funny.
– Despite thier inexperience and poor tactics they face thier enemy pretty valiantly so less fear than most.
– And the one thing that I saw that was very worrisome… I could have swore I saw a SMAW being fired. This is an American weapon. Where did they get that?!? And no Allan it wasn’t a Carl Gustuv…
These people are to be feared… By Assad… By us… By Israel…
