Sometimes I think Fark needs a "flame-bait" tag.

From what I understand most of IDF service involves sitting on the beach getting high. But it may have changed.

Some have even suggested that occasional skirmishes along the Lebanese border are drug deals gone bad.

netweavr: Sometimes I think Fark needs a "flame-bait" tag.

I don't know; TFA doesn't seem too flamebaity to me. Neither, really, does the headline. Any two armies will have differences, and both TFA and the headline seem to have stuck to the relatively safe, inoffensive ones.

The army? So what? Lets compare air force and special forces. That would honesty be interesting.

That headline... I know those words but that arrangement makes no sense.

Is 'tuna' code for 'Hot IDF Girls'?

How did he manage to serve that long in a foreign army, and not lose his U.S. citizenship?

Is there an hour of any day of the week where a submission involves Israel somehow where Tatsuma doesn't post right away? Dude would probably violate the sabbath to prop up Israel on fark.

I know the state department is getting stricter on people letting go of American citizenship, but isn't voluntarily serving in another countries army one of those ways?

Well when you spend hundreds of billions on defense every year, you better have some goddamn high quality boots.

Since this is bound to devolve into which branch is the better one argument I'll get it rolling with one of my favorite pictures

Very accurate re: the discipline.. in the US Army you aren't allowed to just indiscriminately murder defenseless brown children.

No doubt he keeps Gentile alts on hand for just such an emergency.

The US' relationship with Israel is... uh... "special".

nope no conflict of interest. USA=IDF

No, really. The USA is as much of an Israeli defense force as the IDF.

They don't exist with out us.

Only if you INTEND on relinquishing your US citizenship at the time.

I think there is a general exception for (surprise) Israel. Both my daughters are american and israeli citizen and can serve in either force (not at the same time). But since they are not being raised in israel they are not forced to serve. I know a lot of american jew who served in the idf and were not israeli citizens. Rahm emanual did not serve in the IDF but was a senior adviser for them.

Let him finish a full tour and get a follow up.

If there's anybody who's got life figured out, it's a 20-year-old.

Just ask one.

If by senior adviser, you mean he was essentially a mechanic. I figured that Israel would be an exception.

Actually, he doesn't. Check out an Israel thread that gets posted on a Friday afternoon sometime.

I wrote slash ducks! Don't we write slash ducks when we post an insincere, inflammatory statement? Did I misuse slash ducks?

Darnit. Maybe we just need to give Israel a few more billion a year to take care of their boot and tuna problem.

A jew in my Army? NO WAI!

He's doing it wrong.

Only gentiles are supposed to sign up for the US military to protect Israel.

Unless he's there to steal technology.

It only becomes an issue if he accepts an officer's commission, I believe.

You're not suggesting what I THINK you're suggesting, are you citizen?

The US Army does not teach this;

Pretty sure Amos wants him sent to Dacheau, with the Wayback Machine set to 1938.

/fortunately he thinks modern-day Jerusalem is the same place and time
//don't spoil it for him, let him be surprised when the USAF begs Israel for their IDF-trained trooper back

Is that a French concentration camp?
