  • It's funny you should mention Yadin in this context. Maklef, who replaced him, was, if i am not mistaken, 33 years old. and he too resigned after a year.

    when you resign you shock the system. But that this is always a good thing, I seriously doubt.
  • I don't think that it is always a good thing for the system. However if, as an officer, they cannot agree with the decisions of the political masters they must resign.
    As a side note, I think that Ben-Gurion's decision to cut the budget was the right thing to do for at least two reasons:
    1. The national priorities was to spend the money in the immigrants and in building the new state.
    2. This was another test to the ability of the civilian government to govern - and Ben-Gurion pushed Yadin to resign and by that to establish to superiority of the elected government over the army.
