(National Interest) Robert Farley - Because of its unique needs and because of international boycotts, Israel began developing its own military technologies, as well as augmenting the best foreign tech. But the technology that binds all of these systems together is the Israeli soldier. Since 1948 (and even before) Israel has committed the best of its human capital to the armed forces. The creation of fantastic soldiers, sailors, and airmen doesn't happen by accident, and doesn't result simply from the enthusiasm and competence of the recruits. The IDF has developed systems of recruitment, training, and retention that allow it to field some of the most competent, capable soldiers in the world. None of the other technologies work unless they have smart, dedicated, well-trained operators to make them function at their fullest potential. The writer is a senior lecturer at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky. 2017-02-09 00:00:00Full Article
