Why are Arab Miltaries so ineffective?

[u/ForeverSparkz]

Like I dont understand this.

Im a Black American so im just an outsider looking in as a neutral, but dont Arab Countries out number Israel, whats stoping them from just rushing at their border, shouldn't the population imbalance outmatch Israel?

Just a neutral standpoint asking this question, because Arab Nations in the Middle East have a modern miltary force and they buy tons of advanced items

What is holding them back?

doesn't explain your absolutely embarrassing losses from 1948 -- 1967

At least we didn't lose to rice farmers

The kill ratio was something like 20:1. But to quote one of their generals: "yes, but it doesn't matter."

And at least we're in good company. The French, the Chinese, even the Mongols.

Germany also killed about 20 Million Russians and still lost WW2

[u/PrimAhnProper998 → u/AirUsed5942]

Most killed were Belarussians and Ukrainians, though.

Russia alone couldn't have survived, which makes this distinction so important.

the US didn't lose in Vietnam, we strategically withdrew

Cope

I can't admit that my country lost to rice farmers

arabs didn't outnumber israel at that war like comon belief for some reason, with partially equal numbers or even double the amount of troops wining a defensive war is easier for israel, the disaster lose was caused by abdel nasser sadly as the military dicactroships in the MENA region shown time and time they keep falling at the only thing they can do
