Agree, not funny, but we can "thank" these posers for demonstrating the /values/ they fight for. 

Some people need to see this. 

 Totally. A symptom of their nonexistent military discipline.

Outspending the enemy 1000 to 1 is no guarantee of victory with troops like this.

Photo was taken with a mobile phone, in a combat zone, in an era when anyone can buy a wide-band radio triangulation rig on Crowd Supply.
 

 All countries were founded on looting. Over time they get good, get out of that game, or get rekt.

The fact to IDF is so wildly incompetent at organised military coercion despite tens of billions in Western handouts indeed surprises me.

The way our government behaves like blackmailed paedophiles whenever around them only disappoints... 

 The government is basically bought, the congress is bought. No wonder they are kissing their asses. 

 Truth, but I think its more comprehensive than merely "bought". 

Bought, blackmailed, threatened, and then kept busy and "gate-kept" against unsupportive facts and persons. Its done carelessly, unimaginatively and inefficiently, but the sum is much greater than the parts. 

 Well, what is any government security force member, but an organised and disciplined looter?

Stealing control of leaders, ideals, institutions and the humdrum predictability of everyday life is how wars are won.

Stealing wedding dresses, cash, medical equipment and the lives of noncombatants, on the other hand...
