Very well said! We don't have nearly the "in your face" worries that you have, but I am very grateful to each and every soldier who stands up to defend his/her country.

I'm glad you wrote that. Most Americans don't have a clue about the mindset of Israel and the Defense Force. One of the things they don't understand is that going into the army in Israel is a lot like going to college in the U.S. -- all your friends do it and you do it too.***I don't understand really why people can't work things out without killing each other. But if adults can't do it, how do we teach kids not to do it?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your answer....it was perfect. In a perfect world there would be no wars but a perfect world is an unrealistic pipe dream. While most in the world are peace loving, kind and gentle, it only takes the smaller percentage of insane idiots to bring us to the realization that real Peace means defense.
