Israel's Chiefs of Staff, like its Prime Ministers, are in continuous decline, each one being drastically less charismatic and competent, and more bootlicking and servile than his predecessor.
Thus even the pathetic milquetoast Moshe "Boogie" Yaalon
now comes across as a "brilliant" tactician and an "outstanding rightwing" leader of men when compared to his successor, the gormless Dan Chalutz
who presided over the wicked Gaza Deportation and the scandal of the 2006 Lebanon War.
In Israel, "hope springs eternal", and hope had been expressed that the current Ramatkal, Gabi Ashkenazi
would buck the declining trend, being that he was ex-Golani, of half-Sefaradi and half-Ashkenazi origin.
But he is nowhere to be seen or heard in the current missile crisis.
It looks like those hopes have been dashed!
There's no doubt that in their early years these were once brave Jewish fighters.
But they have exceeded their Peter Principles, and have been corrupted, overfed, and overpaid.
Israel is very poorly served by its upper officer cadre.
