#1 Isn't the US the "most competent" Military in the Mideast? (I know we are not a MidEast nation but there is no doubt our military is in action there.)

Wouldn't that be followed by the Israel and then Turkey and Iraq?
(as the Iraqis are a not green troops)

#2 The purpose of militaries in the ME is to keep the population under control. SA has the most competent military in the ME, followed by Syria, Egypt and then Iran.

#3 Well if you consider raping prisoners to be part of the job of a military, then Iran may have a point. Other than that, then no.

Jordan used to be pretty good as far as Muslim armies go.
