#1 The IDF in response to the report said the inspection was a "routine defense inspection that was carried out with the aim of improving the security of the bases, and not an examination of a scenario simulating a sudden attack of thousands of terrorists, as had occurred on October 7.

Thank you for your interest in national defense. We'll handle it from here.

#4 Our US Navy didn't learn much from Pearl Harbor. Just 8 months later they would 'line them up again' for another round.

#5 Sounds like the US military and being more concerned with DEI crap instead of making sure they are ready to kill somebody.

#6 ...After Khobar Towers - where 45 airmen and NCOs from my base ended up with Purple Hearts - we pushed awareness of how it happened and what to do, followed up by exercises where we simulated the events leading up to it.

The troops dropped the ball. They finally got it right later, but it took a lot of beating.
