It is, however, a virtual certainty that the Israeli inquiry will not
address the most interesting question of all: how did the world’s premier post-World War II Third Generation military regress to the Second Generation?
When I was in Israel several years ago, I said to my host, a retired Israeli general with several interesting books to his credit, that I thought the IDF had begun to regress to the Second Generation after the 1973 war. He told me I was wrong; the regression had begun after the war in 1967.
