hezbollah must quickly warn syrian army not just on the offensive against the syrian rebels, but also to protect all other branches of syrian armed forces like airforce bases and navy bases and coastal defense bases and air defense bases and ballistic-missiles bases and chemical weapons bases and powerplants and telecom plants and etc., coz.the rebels can anytime sabotages them or even confiscates those other weapons and uses them against syrian forces, a never ending wars. if syria lacks soldiers, then why not quickly recruits more loyal troops and quickly train them to become elite troops. half of syrian army must protect the other forces with troops tanks artilleries etc..
