I found this photo essay on the net and I find the photos of life in the IDF for women fascinating.

Click here for the thumbnail page.

Here are some examples:

I found myself cracking up thinking of a US military officer looking at these photos and blowing a gasket because there was no uniformity.

Seriously though, if this isn't a perfect example of why not to have conscription I don't know what is. What a bunch of rag bags.

I would bet these ladies are a bit tougher (and better) than you give them credit for.

Its not all Dress Blues and Tennis Shoes (or a light coat of grease).

Yeah, they're probably a little better than WAVE's or WAC's because of more practical levels of training.

I first noticed the rust on the bunks. Kinda odd, but I don't think we should judge them by US standards. Agreeing with Delta 21, I would imagine the Israelis place more emphasis on training and survival, than spit and polish. And I think with the right training, almost anyone could become a good soldier.

I notice some of them have different colored berets under their epaulets. I wonder what the significance of that is.

Exept for the total lack of starch & creases, it reminds me a great deal of boot camp. :-)
