There are in a way many similarities to the 6 day war of 1967.and in reverse 1973

I was with the Gen. Uzi Narkis forward command unit, with all the additional tactical communication gear in a mobilized small truck.

Came under live cannon fire from the Jordanians, remember it as last week, from what I was reading and instructed I ordered the driver to speed up and stop and then do it again - we avoided 3 or 4 cannon fire explosion before us and behind us,

The war was won more thanks to ingenuity and luck and incompetence and arrogance of the opposing armies, from my understanding on all fronts.

If the Jordanians would have had the thermobaric rockets that the Russians are using today I was not be writing this today.

Same think in the 1973 war when crossing lines at night to salvage tanks and troop carriers, - pure luck when I was under an aircraft attack one day, and then during the night we were moving slowly.

I build a Resistor Capacitor oscillator based on band pass filter recoil, powered by two 1.5 V batteries (TJ you should know it) - when all was done we did not power up the engines to move back and be discovered and destroyed, only transmitted the signal back that we are done for about 2 to 3 seconds not to be discovered. Was I afraid - of course I was but the job needed to be done - half of our tanks the General Adan 162 Division ( en.wikipedia.org ) were mostly destroyed by the sagger guided missiles ( en.wikipedia.org )



So the ingenuity of the actual fighting soldiers is what makes the difference. Not the extravagant heroes, just good nuts and bolts soldiers. Therefore I received two citations from Armored Command and Signal Corps Command.
