"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." - Alfred Pennyworth
From the movie: The Dark Knight (2008)
Yes, this quote is from a movie, but it makes it no less true.

Points to the retired trooper’s wife, too. Wonder if she had some time in the IDF too.

Israel promotes soldiers rank by rank up the ladder of their profession based upon merit. Noam Tibon, and other Israeli Generals I’ve seen in interviews, were CLEARLY promoted over many years based on MERIT.
In America we promote from rank to rank up the ladder based on skin color, gender, pronouns, party affiliation and ass kissing.
God help America!

A kibbutz is a place where disarmed people keep any firearms locked up. It’s secondary function is a farming community.

What is a kibbutz? A communal settlement in rural Israel typically centered around agriculture or manufacturing.
Often, young Jews from the diaspora will spend some time abroad working on a Kibbutz for a summer or so as it offers the opportunity to live in Israel and learn Hebrew.

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

Can't wait for the movie to come out. Hollywood will just replace the general with a black character and make the terrorists “white supremacists.”
