Do Israeli girls still call themselves “sabras”?

Meaning, prickly on the outside but sweet on the inside.

As a former tanker I have to give this idea thumbs down. Every crew member must crosstrain to do the others’ job if necessary.

Humping 105mm rounds is no picnic; first they have to be lifted from the ground to the loader’s hatch, then slid into ready racks, then loaded & fired, & then the red hot hull has to be tossed out of the loader’s hatch.

Old saying: strength test 100 males & 100 females: the ten strongest women are only as strong as the ten weakest males.

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
