Over at Wpns. Dept. FAOAC course we had an Israeli and Egyptian LTCs going through at the same time. Interesting especially because it was a 1Lt/Cpt. course for us, and these two guys had both been in the Sinai in 1973. Crazy stuff. I had three Lebanese lieutenants in one of my FAOBC courses. Had dinner with them a couple of times. Real interesting, as well (1979)as Beirut was getting ripped apart by Syrians, phalangists, Druse, PLO, and Shia militias. Their poor little army didn't stand a chance. Two muslims and a christian. All ADORED Adolf Hitler! THAT was strange for me to deal with-so I didn't. Made good friends with a really neat Kenyan officer, who'd talk about fighting poachers up on the Tanzanian border. Sill was a surprisingly neat place.
