是什么让以色列陆军军官与众不同？
我通常不喜欢这种概括某些群体的问题。当你脚踏实地时，你会发现在许多情况下，问题的主题（在我们的例子中是以色列国防军军官）中有优秀的人，也有好人、平庸的人、（有时）糟糕的人，以及混蛋。
因此，我更愿意谈谈（在我看来）IDF DNA 与其他西方军队以及中东军队相比的独特之处，我将通过一则轶事来说明：
不久前，我读完了Unbroken这本书（本身就是一本优秀的书），讲述了二战期间一名 B-24 飞行员在日本战俘营中经历地狱般的生活的故事。在书中的一个场景中，英国和美国的战俘被强迫劳动，包括军官。然后，军官们向营地指挥官表示，根据日内瓦公约，军官们不应参与此类劳动，而只能是士兵。
（注：以下描述仅指战斗单位，支援单位和后方单位是不同的世界）。
上面的描述对于曾担任过少校/ lt军官的以色列国防军军官来说是无法理解的。上校 （除非他是一个以自我为中心的笨蛋，而我知道其中不少）。你的手下会因为工作而筋疲力尽而你不会，即使你没有更好的事可做？就因为你是军官？为什么？
在以色列，没有西点军校或蓝血军事职业特权团体。军官是从零开始成长起来的。他们接受基础训练，并作为二等兵服役几个月。如果他们表现出色，他们将被送往士官课程（例如步兵中士、坦克指挥官等），然后再服役几个月（或不服役，取决于军团）。如果他们还不错，他们将参加几个月的军官课程，通常会回到原来的单位指挥他们的朋友. 是的，与他们一起完成基础训练、入伍服役和有时是士官课程的同一个人。不到 2 年前，他们与这些人成为了朋友，一起度过了不眠之夜，一起欢笑，一起吐槽，一起吃饭，一起放屁，一起受苦，一起度过了他们一生中最美好的时光。这些士兵确切地知道他们的新军官是谁，他的价值是多少，而作为新军官的你也知道这一点。如果你试图向他们下达毫无意义或被证明无能的非理性命令，你的老朋友就会挑战你，你不能通过向他们出售军官学士学位来解雇你的朋友。它只是行不通。
这就是为什么以色列国防军的军官与他们的士兵有着完全相同的标准：他们的士兵从不称他们为“长官”，而是用他们的名字或姓氏（仅限营。不要在基础训练中尝试），睡觉相同的营房，使用相同的装备，在相同的桌子上吃完全相同的食物（在大型基地中，军官和士兵通常有单独的餐厅。在我的时代，他们之间的唯一区别是在军官餐厅房间里的盘子是用陶瓷做的，而在士兵餐厅里，盘子是塑料做的，仅此而已），没有特权或任何其他舒适感。在食物或其他重要物资暂时短缺的情况下，军官在削减自己和下属的口粮之前试图削减士兵的口粮是不可接受的。
在小国军队中当军官的另一个方面是个人责任感更高：很多时候你认识你的士兵和士官的家人和女朋友（当他们留在基地时，他们会来拜访他们）周末）。当你搞砸或只是让他们的孩子受到虐待时，你会亲眼见到那些你必须向他们解释的人的名字和面孔。
总而言之，我将使用另一个轶事：Uri Ben Ari是 1948 年耶路撒冷战役中的一名连长，他在他的书《跟我来》（在 IDF 中学到的排名第一的指挥座右铭）中写到一场战斗结局很糟糕：当很明显他们失去了太多人而不得不撤退时，有人大喊命令：“士兵先撤退！军官和士官留下来提供掩护！”。你可以从这个小例子中做出你想要的。
大多数人可能对以下场景很熟悉。
一个房间里挤满了美国海军陆战队员，他们正在忙着自己的工作，忙着自己的事，突然间……
“甲板上注意！”
“放心吧，海军陆战队员。”
当一名上级军官走进房间时，所有士兵都站直了身子，站直了身子，等待他们的指挥官让步，或者由他讲话。
您不仅不会在 IDF 中看到这种情况，而且在 IDF 中欢迎和鼓励与军官顶嘴并怀疑他的命令。
即使是以色列国防军最高级别的军官，以色列国防军参谋长，也和军队中的其他士兵一样，在高中时参加了一些军事考试，并开始了基础训练。没有别的办法可以起兵。
以色列国防军参谋长 Gadi Eizenkot 肩上全天候 24/7 肩扛突击步枪，就像其他士兵和军官一样。
这让我们的军官非常接地气，非常平易近人，彻底打破了军官之间的隔阂。
前参谋长本尼·甘茨 (Benny Gantz) 在步兵演习中与士兵一起奔跑和射击。
这些图像不是您在美国军队中看到的场景，因为下属和高级军官之间的“距离”是极端的，而 IDF 则基本上不存在这种“距离”。
前参谋长加比·阿什肯纳齐 (Gabi Ashkenazi) 肩上挂着一架 m-16 步枪，俯瞰步兵演习，周围是士兵而非军官。
我们的军官自尊心很低，只要以最好的方式完成工作，就没有理由实行严格的军纪等级制度。
前参谋长向一队士兵讲话。注意有些人坐着，有些人站着。没有手续。
I think it is the difference in Israeli society compared to others that impacts the army as a whole.
Israeli societies are very close and through various experiences, you'll end up knowing a lot of random people in the army from various experiences in your regular life from outside the army.
So your CO in the army could be the guy who runs the laundromat down the street from your apartment or your subordinate could be your dentist. So soldiers in the army generally have a different level of respect for each other as they know that everyone is connected to them somehow.
A few examples:

Morality and morale.
The IDF is the most moral military force anywhere, ever. Officers and other ranks equally fight for their identity as Israelis and as Jews, and the heart of being Jewish is righteousness.
- Enemy combatants - even terrorists who would ruthlessly kill Israeli civilians given the chance - are given medical treatment beside Israeli casualties;
- An Israeli trooper who shoots an unarmed person who poses no immediate threat can expect to face a court-martial - there have been several well-publicised cases -;
- Great efforts are made to alert nearby residents before an Israeli attack - by
There was a joke in the late 1960s and it went something like this:
An Israeli general was taking an American reporter on a tour of a base. As they were walking along, the reporter said, “General, you may not have noticed, but that man we just passed did not salute you.”
The general responded: “He didn’t salute me? Let’s go back and see.”
They returned to the man and the general asked, “Goldstein, is it true that you didn’t salute me?”
Goldstein responded, “Yes, general, it is.”
The general then asked, “What’s the matter Goldstein? Are you mad at me?”
- They are led by example. The officer doesn’t sit back and say go get that hill boys, he gets up first and says follow me to get the hill. That’s why the ratio of officers to enlisted killed in the IDF is way higher than any other army.
- From the time of enlisting they are instilled with the premise that all life is sacred even of the enemy.
- They warn civilians to leave an area about to be attacked to minimize those casualties even though it warns the enemy combatants too.
- All they really want is to get home safe, Have a nice family dinner with Mom, dad and siblings.
- Over 80% are reservists. Most ar
Because we have always had to fight our own battles and we’ve done so to protect our families and loved ones. No foreign army has ever fought for Israel, contrary to most countries in the world, who demand the help of others the moment they’re threatened.
Standing alone makes you stronger..
Any?
Not only “any” but relatively “many” to what you would be expecting in a Jewish state (which suffered and still suffering by many Muslims outside Israel and within).
There are:
Beduim - who live mostly in the Negev desert. They are fine trackers. They can detect almost everything.
Druze- who live mostly in the Golan and Galil. They are proud warriors. It's in their blood.
Circassians- There aren't man
Because the UN is biased, they condemmed israel more then any other country in the world combined.
What are the benefits of joining the Israeli army?
Honestly, the Israeli army is not for everyone. It can be harder on some, and easier to others.
There are to many benefits to count but I will name a few of the top of my head:
- You gain a sense of honor and dignity, that only comes when you serve and risk your life for your country.
- Gain physical strength — In the IDF you train a lot, especially If you're a warrior.
- Gain mental strength — You will face many struggles, which will increase your mental tolerance and stability.
- Cultural benefits — In Israel, a part of your social identification is where
Israeli officers are not unique, they are just extremely good in what they do.
An Israeli officer is trained in modern western tactics and later strategy. The leading school of thought is the 'Distributed mission-oriented command' model you also find in the elite regiments of British, American and Australian forces.
He is very independent, trained to assess situations and adapt his actions to changing conditions and perform his duties when communications channels are degraded. He is also highly motivated and infused with the esprit de corpes that is the hallmark of the IDF.
His skills and train
The best airforce in the middle East with the absolute finest pilots in the whole world, a heavily armed artillery corps, armor corps and AA corps, a fleet of submarines capable of a classified range deployment (let's just say, China is not that far for them), a nuclear program that would put all countries beside US and Russia to shame, an intelligence corps that is known worldwide for its frighteningly far reach and people who fight for their nation's actual defense rather than a paycheck -
Honestly… this is the best army in the world, minus the manpower. The ONLY, TRUE people's defense army i
Every unit has its own set of specialized weapons, but there is a commonality amongst weapons used throughout different units in the IDF.
SR25
A relatively new sniper rifle used mostly by special forces with an effective range of 800–1,000 meters.
AK47
Most units in the IDF learn how to shoot and operate an AK, just in case we must use one in a dire time. The only unit that uses it on an operational basis are the Flotilla- 13 fighters.
Micro- Tavor
Israeli invented and manufactured, this 5.56mm assault rifle is ideal for both infantry and special forces, and is amongst the most common rifles in the
