#1 A useful listing of inventory and manpower. Then comes the History section, which so often amuses:
The performance of the army during the October 1973 War against Israel helped restore the militaryÂ’s prestige after its defeat in the Six-Day war in 1967, and justified President Anwar SadatÂ’s emphasis on professionalism and avoidance of civilian politics.
Like personal faith, as long as it helps them be better people in the public square, I'm not going to argue the historicity or consistency of the details. But how their heads don't explode is beyond me.
