Thanks for the post.
How awful some think that Isreal makes all youths between 18 and 25 to serve 2 years in defense of their country. Now we see that the Army is changing their basic training. Soon, if most pacifists in this country have their way, all our youth between 18 and 25 will also be made by our government to serve this nation.
What is the common cause for this? Islam! period
The Swiss and Finns do this also. With the Swiss, you keep your assault rifle and take it home with you.
