This is highly unlikely but, Can the US Military beat the Israeli military if they ever face each other?

The U.S would win, who do you think trained all of those Israeli pilots? (hint: the U.S did) Who gave them their fancy planes? The U.S did, which means the U.S knows the strengths and weaknesses of Israeli aircraft. If I was a U.S commander, I'd stage my carriers pretty far off the Israeli coast, use conventional cruise missiles to damage Israeli aircraft and airfields, as well as command and control centers, mop up the rest with the fighter compliments of my carriers, along with additional aircraft from my bases in places like Saudi Arabia and Iraq(the Saudis wont mind the U.S launching from there, I'm sure). The U.S would certainly lose aircraft and pilots, but they have more to lose. Once the IAF is destroyed you blockade Israeli ports at your leisure and send in the troops. The Israeli army is no joke, but again they train off the U.S model, and the U.S has more stuff than they do, I would bet that the U.S would win a war with Israel in under 18 months, and some of that time would include the buildup you would need to accomplish that task.

The chance of it happening are either slim or none. Without out a doubt, in an all out war, US wins. With the neighbors Israel has, the US could simply blockade them and win without firing a single shot. It would take about 1 year. If the US decides to wipe them out, 24 hours or less.

Without question the US would absolutely destroy them if need be.
Probably take a year if we really went to war strong.
Nuclear warfare would cause the end of it.

All we'd have to do was stop giving them money.

Seriously, that country wouldn't even exist without our support.

And we gave them ALL of their military weapons.

Tactics and capabilites aside. You do realize the US military is nearly 10 times larger then our ALLIES the isrealies, right?

Regardless of what you may have heard, the us military would completely destroy the Israeli military. First off, we supply them with supplies ranging from jets, tanks, weapons, and money, all the way down to ammunition and office supplies. If we went to war with them, we would cut them off. They would be screwed. Not to mention, we have extensive files of the locations and information of every single base, missile silo, and outpost in Israel. We would stay off the coast and launch laser guided cruise missiles at any radar station, air base, missile silo, barracks, tanks, government and military buildings. Their ability to carry out any major military assault would be destroyed within the first 48 hours.

My God yes. Hezbollah gave them a run for their money for the love of God.

It would be no contest. The US military would wipe Israel's
army off the battlefield.

Strat Com

The United States is the World Hegemon which means that it can destroy any country very quickly without resistance. IF the us and israel were to go to war for a full and immediate war the US would win. The US could deploy a huge arsenal of nuclear warheads to israel and that would be the end. Even with the small stockpile the Israelis have they would lose sorely. The US would not even need fighter pilots. About 30 nuclear war heads would take out the ENTIRE Israel.

Aftermath:
-After a while the US could send people to clean up whatever was left.
-The Arab nations would attack Israel very quickly and probably kill ANY remaining Israelis.
-The US would be safe because their neighbors include Canada and Mexico who are no threat to the US.

It would take at most a whole month for it to be over or less.
Nuclear warfare would end it.

An argument could be said that they are losing the war in Iraq and War on Terror but the war on terror is against a group of people and an idea. The war in Iraq is an offensive war and we would not nuke them because we have interest in the area.

The US would hands down. You also need to understand that Israel was using quite a bit of restraint and tried to fight that little skirmish through the eye of a needle. If Israel wanted to get ugly, they are very good at ugly and the Lebanese are blessed that the Israeli's used the constraint that they did.

Blue Steel & Lace

Well, we have them outgunned and out manned in almost any sector. Even if they have really good pilots, we have more, and most of ours are every bit as good and experienced.
Plus if we turned against them, the entire middle east would rally to our aid just for the opportunity jump on them too.
For those two reasons alone, I don't think they would have a snowball's chance in Hades.

But it isn't going to happen anyway...

It would be no problem just go into the NSA website and look into our airforce..

The U.S. Coast Guard could whip em in a week.

Militarily it would be no problem for the US to beat Israel but as their entire country would be behind their government for a quick or long haul victory -
I truly belief Israel would have the better mind set to win.

Under six to eight months the US after that time frame Israel.

winemkr

Awe shucks AHMED you don't really think that the destructive capabilities of the United States of America can be matched by any other country, do you?

If you do than you better stick your head between your legs and kiss your az z goodbye.

Come to think of it. No matter what you think, you should assume the position as soon as possible.

[quarantine]

Well I think that we would win but it would cost many lives and a lot of money, their army is well trained like ours so it would not look good.

Thank god Israel is our ally. If we went to war with them it would be very bloody. Their pilots are trained by US pilots. We help supply them militarily. However, they would be like the Kamikazi pilots if need be. They're nuts. I think it would be a long, bloody war and would end with nukes.

seeker89

I don't know why we try to match up fictional wars between allies? But, knowing what I know about both militaries...the U.S. would win. The Israeli pilots are only good because they are trained by the U.S. Airforce, it is also how you look at the statistics. For example, Israeli pilots engage in more dog fights and therefore shoot down more planes.
