AL,
I know from reading, among others, Pollack's "Arabs at War" that the battlefield performance of Arab militaries has been pretty dismal. I'd thought, though, that Jordan's army was likely to be the best of the bunch, the legacy of Glub Pasha, and having a professional military class and martial history through the Bedouin.
I'm by no means an expert and am always eager to learn. What makes you rate the Lebanese army as you do?
