“Where is our MSM showing the Israeli civilian casualties?”

From another angle, it might just be a cultural difference that it’s harder to get Israelis to use their dead and wounded as stage props for the international press.

Good point. In late 68 we had a SOG recon team capture a 122 mm rocket intact from the mid west part of our AO. It was taken to Saigon and test fired into reinforced concrete.

If I recall the report half ass, it penetraated 6 plus feet of solid reinforced concrete. So, think what those civilians in Israel are facing. It took an SF engineer/demo man and 32 montagnards days to build an underground bumker/TOC that would withstand that kind of direct hit. So, those who feel sorry for Hamas’s cowards who fire 122’s at Israel’s cities- need to stop whining, as those new bombs are much more accurate then a 122mm rocket aimed at a city. A 122mm rocket might hit anywhere. What home in this country could withstand that?
