Armies are made up of humans with real feelings. Does anyone ever think of
that. Sometimes feelings may overcome even the most disciplined. I wish we could have peace.I feel for you and I care for you.

I've heard some of that stuff, and I get just furious and, like sam, I'm in danger of venting. There is no doubt that the Israeli army is one of the best-led and most civilized armies in the world! Is there the odd no-goodnik among them? Of course there is! But complaints about the Israelis' conduct in Gaza are absurd! They're either spread by Hamas who are trying to deflect attention from their own actions, or just part of the general anti-Israeli propaganda we've now been familiar with for a long time...

It seems that every military operation...
...has it's accusations of misconduct, and most of them are hearsay!

This is so unfortunate! I am at a loss for words! My own son is heading out this month and I have trouble with folks berating soldiers! I say entertain the last call with a soldier son and pray all goes well! Then persecuted! I hope my son is perfect! sam
