Ariel Sharon was certainly a consequential Defense Minister. Ezer Weizman was also consequential, but to a lesser extent.
The most significant problem faced by the defense establishment has been the selection of chiefs of staff & other top officers such as the heads of the northern, central & southern fronts who have been unimaginative & feckless.

There have been many consequential Defense Ministers. My point was that only 2, since 1967 have been consequential and not an ex-general.
I agree with most of your second point which is why we need non-generals as Defense Ministers.
The most infamous being Amir Peretz.
Someone told me that the Israeli military skews left wing while the American military skews right wing.
Do you see it that way?
