Agh! I have screwed up the bolding in this article. Allow me to reflect upon my misdeeds and try to fix it tomorrow. -Paul in Saudi

This article doesn't really explain why Iran is such a threat to Saudi Arabia. Maybe it should be better explained? FvNK 23:01, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

This article has way too much opinion and needs help. JD79 02:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Does it really need a disputed NPOV tag? The way I see it, it only states facts, IMHO. -- Eagleamn 02:58, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

isn't it illegal to talk about secret military equipment ? hehehe

"With the collapse of the Iraqi Ba'athist regime in mid-2003, the greatest conventional threat to the Saudi Kingdom was eliminated. The military situation became both less threatening and more complex."

Was this ever REALLY the case. The war happened. But from my understanding Iran has ALWAYS been considered SA's #1 threat. While SA did have a good amount of surveillence equipment on the ground to monitor the iraqi border, they have always had much more in terms to monitor Iran. I think that sentace needs to be removed or down played.

"Despite its at times anti-Western rhetoric," ... wth?? Maybe if we are reffering to the times of King Faisal. But from the gov't what "anti western" rhetoric? Dude this IS A MILITARY article. Not an op ed piece. It should focus on who they traditonaly got there weapons from, history of the creation of the saudi military. Jnusaira 18:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)jnusaira

[edit] Can Women be Clerks or volunteers?

I like to knew if they do and if they allowed them to do so.Thanks.

No. However, they may work as medics only in military hospitals. (More like regular doctors and nurses since they are not trained by the military AFAIK) - Eagleamn 01:18, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
