On a happy note, while the acid reflux has me up at 2:33 A.M. on an IDF base in the Negev, Israel, there is the soothing sound of 250 lb. JDAMs in the distance pounding ham ass in Gaza.
One time in Nahariya, I heard artillery reports so heavy they shook our apartment walls. Since there were no sirens sounding, I thought it was our artillery battery pounding Hizbollah in Lebanon. It turned out it was incoming from Lebanon, but the sirens had been rendered kaput somehow.
