The IDF's Secret for Success
(Fathom-BICOM-UK) Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Moshe Ya'alon interviewed by Samuel Nurding - As Israel's Defense Minister, I met a U.S. general commanding an international exercise flying F-16s who asked me, "What is your secret? How come your pilots are the best in all the fields: air-to-air battles, navigation, accuracy targeting?" I pointed to my heart and my mind, and told him: "This is the Jewish-Zionist spirit. All our pilots understand their responsibility to defend our country, and the price of not doing so. They will do their utmost to be the best. As long as we educate our youngsters according to Jewish-Zionist values, our future is bright."
