[BITList] Future War outcome

[John Feltham]

>  
> The commanding officer at a Russian military academy (the equivalent of a 4-star general in the U.S. ) gave a lecture on Potential Problems and Military Strategy.  At the end of the lecture, he asked if there
> were any questions.
> An officer stood up and asked, "Will there be a third world war?And will Russia take part in it?"
> The general answered both questions in the affirmative.
> Another officer asked, "Who will be the enemy?"
> The general replied, "All indications point to China ."
> Everyone in the audience was shocked.  A third officer remarked,
> "General, we a nation of only 150 million, compared to the 1.5 billion
> Chinese.  Can we win at all, or even survive?"
> The general answered, "Just think about this for a moment:  In modern warfare, it is not the quantity of soldiers that matters but the quality of an army’s capabilities.  For example, in the Middle East we
> have had a few wars recently where 5 million Jews fought against 150 million Arabs, and Israel was always victorious."
> After a small pause, yet another officer - from the back of the auditorium asked, "Do we have enough Jews???"
