They're probably told to say stuff like that. At that point their lives are reduced to being a sex slave in some shithole out in the middle of nowhere. They will be physically, mentally, and spiritually abused for the remainder of their short lives.

Women everywhere need to see this. This is why war is considered to be hell on earth. The enemy does not care about your political views, who you're allied with, which slogan you yell into a mic. The enemy hates you as a matter of fact and will do with you as it pleases.

For the people on the left in this country. Military service here is not the same as in Israel. Our women get a choice about service. Theirs do not.

The military should never be seen as a job. It is about killing the enemy. We may have a defensive posture, but never forget that the military is about completing the mission. It's not about doing it with diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's about victory or death. There is no alternative. The alternatives are for politicians and diplomats.

Personally, I despise the idea of women in the military. I think it is a mistake akin to putting a female as a Center in the NFL. It's a ridiculous idea that not only leads to her injury/demise, but opens up her teammates to further pain and suffering as well.

If I was in command of Israel's armed forces, I'd not rest until total victory, but I'd have executed the war's in Iraq and Afghanistan differently too. These proxy wars are not being fought to win, but as business transactions. It's sickening.
