Reply To: So who here has actually been in the IDF?

I don’t have a son in the IDF, but I do have one in the US Navy Seals. Does that count? The Navy helped pay for his college, and he owes them six years. (As a Navy retiree, I guess I was too much of an influence on him.) He’s going to be one the few US servicemen that are staying in Afghanistan as part of the anti-terrorist forces. Now our other son who’s still a senior in high school wants to join the IDF. He wants to be a Naval Commando and prove he’s tougher than his brother. Kids. What’re you going to do?
