#1 May the God of Israel be with these young men as he was with their fathers!

#2 What mac said.

If anyone wants to help boost that high morale even more, consider sending some pizza & sodas to the IDF.

I just did.

#3 "[sic]have fretted over this new generation of soldiers. Some have suggested that Israel has become soft over the past 25 years"

Oooooh! The classic, blame the soldiers syndrome. The civilian leadership has become soft, not the soldiers. Whether its Clinton or Bush, no one would call the Marines, soft.

#4 Why would your morale be high if you were being led by Olmert & Paretz? Something's missing.

#5 I can't understand why the Israeli government is acting so slowly in this war, and so weakly, as if there were not 100 rockets and missiles fired on Israel each day by Hezbo terrorists.

They should have bombed and burnt to the ground Bint Jbeil and Majnoun al-Ras, a long time ago.

This strange Israeli government doesn't seem to want to win this war, and I don't understand why.

#6 Sorry, the post #5 is mine (I am posting from an Internet shop, and the computer had recordered the name of the precedent person who accessed rantburg from it).

#7 Article: They brought everything in on their backs for more than 15 kilometers -- food, water, and ammunition - and wound up staying five and a half days.

If this is true, it's nuts. Whatever happened to tanks and infantry fighting vehicles? Sounds a lot like Black Hawk Down, except the Israelis got into it by choice.
