I gave you the names of campaigns from a source.
Im telling you your personal experiences count for nothing. This is the internet. I have no way of checking you claims which may be false. Provide sources please or I will have to assume you are simply trolling.Yes its military gained experience in the war. Any evidence on SA's mitary at all would be nice.

You have stated an opinion. Without sources it stays that an opinion. You have stated something as so the burden of proof rests soley on YOU. Please provide sources for your claims.

Supposedly its a full volunteer professional army with superb morale and disciplinr. Though this is actually an opinion that remains unsubstantiated by evidence. Oh and he also believes Egypt to be a full conscript army with bad morale so despite overwhelming superiority will somehow lose.

I get the feeling this is intended as a snippy remark against Delenda, but it seems you don't realize that it was directed and you and referring to South Africa and not Egypt. If it wasn't, then you need to work on making your point clear.
No you didn't, involvement in a war is not the same as gaining combat experience.
A great many militaries were involved in Desert Storm for instance for political reasons.
The USA did the bulk of the fighting - with Britain and to a lesser degree France in support.
Do you still not believe that the SADF is a volunteer force?
Arab countries have a poor combat record against Western armed forces. Just because the US has replaced the USSR as Egypt's man arms supplier, why should things be different?

Please provide sources for your opinions. As per my source stated Egypt sent the second most troops to Iraq. Until your provide spurces I have to assume anything you say is not true.
Well it is volunteer army but the adjective applied to its morale and disciplinr (SIC) state is entirely your own.

Assume what you want....spurces (SIC) are readily available on the 'net.
If you want to believe that Egypt has anything approaching combat experience, please allude to it.
I accept no burden, if you want to challenge anything, please feel free to do so.

As you have stated the opinion I have asked for a source. Failing to provide one constitutes an admission of falsification. Per discussion protocol he who states a point must back it if questioned.

...because Egypt had soldiers consuming rations in the Gulf during Desert Storm.
[ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandf]South African National Defence Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
"...The SANDF plays a role a in peace keeping role on the African continent as well as providing election observers from time to time.
Recent peacekeeping actions by the South African military include the South African intervention in Lesotho...as well as extensive contributions to United Nations and African Union peacekeeping operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Burundi, the African Union had attempted to put together a small multinational force with the task of providing protection and support to the members of the Burundi Transitional Government. South Africa agreed to contribute, but because no ceasefire agreements had been concluded at the time, no other country was willing to undertake the risk. The South African Protection Support Detachment consisting of 700 troops, was swiftly deployed to Burundi on 27 October 2001 to provide security for Burundian leaders returning from exile.[9] The first SAPSD contingent of about 234 troops under the command of Brigadier General Steven Kobe, the General Officer Commanding 43 SA Brigade, left from Waterkloof Air Force Base Waterkloof, Pretoria, on the morning of 28 October 2001, and arrived in Bujumbura later the same day....A second group of 236 troops left from the air base on the morning of 30 October 2001. The third group of about 231 troops left for Burundi on 3 November, bringing the total to 701. The headquarters was drawn from 43 SA Brigade, while paratroopers came from 1 Parachute Battalion..."

You have stated a great many opinions...
The biggest of which is that Egypt had a competent military.
Yeah, just like Egypt's
You still haven't provided a source on the potency of the Egyptian military.
