| 2022-12-16 |
An interesting factoid about the country some love to hate. [IsraelTimes] Statistics released by the IDF today indicate that there is a correlation between higher socioeconomic levels and service in elite and top combat units."A socioeconomic analysis of those serving in the IDF finds that as socioeconomic status goes up, so too does the percentage serving in combat roles," an IDF study finds. The highest level is seen in the commando units, where more than 40% of the soldiers are from the top 20%, while only 3% came from the bottom 30% socioeconomically. Overall, 62% of conscripts from the top 30% were serving in combat units, the IDF says. |
