The difference between the mindset of an Arab and the west

I was on a flight and I was sitting next to a British officer

So we were shmoozing and it seemed he was quite high ranking

He told me how the Egyptians took him to their army museum celebrating the three day victory

In other words, an Arab is incapable of admitting defeat, his low self-esteem transforms the greatest Arab loss of prestige, namely, the six day war, into a three day victory
