What does Husni Mubarak, Bashar el Assad and Aoun seem to have in common...?
Hair dye.

It's a radical move, making every member of the Lebanese Armed Forces a Major General. Sure, there's plent of money for it, and the berets with the ostrich plumes should be here any day, but what will their wives say? "How come you didn't get to be a Lieutenant General?"
The day may come when you wish you'd invested in martial spirit instead of martial law (also known as warlord governance). You only nourish martial spirit in a regime of laws. Look at Israel: it has a bunch of hitmen (and hitladies) but no military. Likewise Egypt and the Gulf monarchies. I admit it: the US military is finished for the moment. Lying rots out a military.
