I recall back in 82' or 83' that the Christian militias in Lebannon were armed to teeth. Were they neutered by the Israeli occupation?
No actually, many people in those christian militias went to israel and received training, uniforms and light weapons. They lost power because of syria and because they had no backing from western powers, while the palestinians, hezbollah and every muslim faction received all the funding and everything they needed from the arabs and iran.
