Secam se jedne emisije o Arapsko - Izraelskom ratu 1973-e kada penzionirani pilot Americkog transportnog aviona prica kako su se iznad Mediterana sretali sa Sovjetskim transporterima koji su nosili oruzje u Egipat dok su Ameri nosili Izraelu.
Inace, mala analiza, ko je general Al Sisi koji je srusio Morsija?

A career military man, Sisi was groomed for a leadership role after serving in top roles in the command, intelligence and diplomatic branches of the armed forces.
Among his previous postings were a stint as defence attache in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and command positions in the Sinai Peninsula which borders Israel and in the Northern Military Region which includes the second city of Alexandria.
"He had been carefully prepared for a high command position," said Robert Springborg, an expert on the Egyptian military based at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
Apart from his comparative youth among top ranking commanders, two other attributes made him a good fit for the Islamist Mursi seeking a new generation of military leaders.
In a military known for its secularism, Sisi is a devout Muslim, whose wife is said to wear the niqab full-body covering. And after a year at the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania in 2005-2006, he was comfortable with the United States, which funds Egypt's military with $1.3 billion a year.
"Insiders in the U.S. government and military were aware of him. He was a name that was mentioned when people talked about next generations," said Springborg.
He had a favourable reputation among those who worked with him in the American military, although his course work was described as showing Islamist leanings, Springborg said.
"Islamic ideology penetrates Sisi's thinking about political and security matters," he said, citing material Sisi produced while at the course.
Steve Gerras, a retired Army colonel who was Sisi's faculty adviser at the college, described him to Reuters as a serious student and pious Muslim, open to the United States and passionate about Egypt's future.
"He was a serious guy. He is not a guy who would go to a standup comedy show. But at the same time he would stop by - I mean every week ... His eyes were always very warm. His tone was very warm."
