“Sorry but the article is long on hype and short on facts. Trust me effectiveness depends a lot on where you got shot.”
I have some questions about this incident. The headline says “This Female IDF Soldier Fights Off 23 Terrorists in Ambush Attack After Being Shot”. It makes it sound like she was alone and defeated 23 terrorists. This clearly isnt true. She commanded a BATTALION and the attack occurred near the Battalion’s position. She also went to investigate the approaching vehicles with a number of other soldiers. She and others were wounded and she called in for reinforcements (who were apparently close by). How is this different than what the average male soldier would do? How does this earn a Medal of Valor?
Exactly. I sent an email to a friend who is IDF. Will see what they have to say. I most likely will get a “no comment” response.
