Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Callups are continuing, Carl: 3 reserve battalions called up."
The last invasion of Lebanon required 76,000 troops. And it, uh, well, didn't work. I would imagine that this one would be a bit tougher, given all the training you guys have been giving the other side. It appears that they've been gearing up for you.
Now the usual technique is to put the reserves to work at what is being done now by regular army, and to put the regular army at the point of the spear. But things are kinda active in Gaza this time, and I would think that that would mean that Israel really can't get away with putting a bunch of troops into Lebanon without bringing up a corresponding number of reserves.
Hey, I could be wrong, but I doubt it on this one. Do you know how many men are in a brigade? How does three of them compare to, say, 100,000? I'll let you figure it out for yourself.
