    Interesting article. Noticed couple of interesting things:
    -finding the scapegoat and assigning blame might be more important to some than identifying and correcting mistakes
    -continued overreliance on technology, ignoring intelligence
    -giving IDF/AF a lot of credit (reminds me of that article about USAF and COIN wars a while back)
    -no talk about most serious Israeli flaw, intelligence gathering and analysing (or perhaps this is toos ecret to be talked about?)
    -when talking about Deep Command no talk about Egoz unit (or were they disbanded after 2000?)
