Does anyone know if the U.S. has ever conducted military exercises in Israel before?
I for one don't seem to
remember this ever having occured before, but I could be wrong...
Unfortunately, I don't think placing the troops there on exercise will do anything in
the way of protecting
Israel or in garnering any worthwhile experience against terroristism for our
troops...but I DO think that it
puts our soldiers in the position of being 'sitting ducks', and for a possible repeat

Which begs the question as to why Egypt, Syria, and Iran seemingly have more advanced
weaponry than we do...
