What you are witnessing here is a difference in cultures. In the US, most don't give a sh*t about our troops, unless of course you are or were one. In Israel, almost all of us serve. When one soldier gets hit, we all feel it .........
And I agree with another poster here - don't get taken by Arabs. I hold the IDF part to blame for this, but then again no one expected a tunnel to be dug under your position. Memories of Vietnam ;>
Don’t take me wrong. I wasn’t complaining. I wish we here in the states would care about out military like that. I honestly hope he comes home.
