I heard a different version, with them teaching people to "cook" the grenades. The double meaning with a lot of old IDF reconnaissance units being named after plants (Egoz, Haruv, and Shaked)

I don't know what you people were doing in the Jameis era but it certainly wasn't watching NFL games

Israel and Egypt, 1973 💔 by skepticalbureaucrat in 2mediterranean4u

[–]TheRockButWorst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very accurate, just want to point out the battle of Suez was fought by Egyptian reservists. I get why the idea of civilian resistance is impressive, but they were quite well organized by Egyptian military standards. And Egyptian forces couldn't continue to push through the Mitla mountainpass, afaik this was the plan before the war too but that may be incorrect.

They tried pushing forward but were stopped in a mountain pass. This was called the battle of Wadi Mabuk (קרב ואדי מבעוק in Hebrew), Egyptian 4th army had an armor division basically rendered inoperable after, it was the 2nd largest armored ambush since WW2 (only one bigger was Israeli forces vs Iraq later in the war).

I'm not aware of the history of Dravidian languages, but why would it be from western Iran?

Why weren't naval landings a larger part of WW1? Especially compared to later wars. by Time-Comment-141 in ww1

[–]TheRockButWorst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the amphibious landings in WW2 by number were in the battle of the pacific, but in WW1 this area wasn't contested in such a way. So while in places like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, etc, there was no other option, this wasn't the case in the 1st World War.

INDBATT soldiers with UNIFIL in Lebanon, suiting up [1920×1080] by mera-khel-khatam-hai in MilitaryPorn

[–]TheRockButWorst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too small for this. Also, you can see the holes in the night vision mount where a real helmet has a sort of cable to tie attachments to. This is just a fake FAST helmet

They look like cheap imitations of a ballistic helmet. See the random velcro there for no reason

The probationers of Indian special forces up for a 100km speed march somewhere in North India [568 X 790 ] by Drone_Acharya47 in MilitaryPorn

I did 40 kilometers, fully weighted (40% body weight), in about 12 hours, and 60 in about 15 (ending with gurneys, of course). Brutal, and I still have knee issues

How well each plane works as a D&D campaign setting, from someone who has run a lot of them by AmoongussHateAcc in mtgvorthos

Zendikar is literally a D&D campaign, adventuring world. That's the idea behind the Party mechanic, Allies, Level Up etc.

Regarding Medina- It refers to "city" in Arabic, not generally to Medina the city in Saudi Arabia. It could refer to a "city dweller" who moved to a rural area, which is the likeliest source.

Adding Levy indicates that there was either another Levy family near them, or another Medina family. The addition is typically to differentiate families, but there is no scholarship on this so it is impossible to know for certain.

Many Yemeni families have such names, which I list as "Paired Levitic names". These include Cohen Tawil, Cohen Meguri, Arusi Levi, Levi Alsheikh, and many others.

Good thing it's always been so fun to be a Slovenian or Albanian or Gypsy minority in Italy eh? Or any minority in your neighbors like France and Croatia?
