>>63976725>It really is shocking how fucking complacent the IDF are. It has multiple systemic causes.
One being that the average Jew considers the average Muslim a mentally-deficient subhuman. This tends to be true, however even subhumans can get the drop on you ("around blax, never relax"), but Jews tend to be too arrogant and self-assured.
Another is that a lot of soldiers are mobiks, with mobik-grade reflexes and situational awareness. Especially the combat engineers. In other militaries, combat engineers are a specialist branch, and often get higher salaries. In the IDF, it's the opposite. This is because a country of 11-something million, of which a not-insignificant percentage are Nazi-propaganda-tier parasites, simply can't really afford a large standing army with permanent specialist postings. They are forced to penny-pinch wherever possible (hence the lulzy instructions on their rations).
Yet another one is that, during operations in Gaza, a number of ground pounders got got by makeshift .50 cal heavy rifles. No amount of personal armor protects from that, so infantry (who could easily spot/stop suicide biodrones) are often reluctant to just hang around in the open.
