The process is expected to be completed by next year, at which point the army will stand at 40,000 men. There are currently 50,000 soldiers, and 15,000 more reservists." - Haaretz And whom will be the battle seasoned, experienced core of this force? Guess. This war was to accomplish two things. 1. Destroy Hizbollah 2. Send a message to Iran and Syria. It has accomplished two things. 1. To make Hisbollah the hero of Lebanon and the rock upon which the future Lebanese army will rest. 2.
