In truth, there are a lot of older men who are putting the uniform back on, and taking care of duties in Israel, so they can put more men on the front line. Sometimes they need people to hold a position so the fit men can do the job. They also serve who only stand and wait.
Never had a uniform on for any country. Incapable of following orders. Bad back, near-sighted, diabetic, two metal hips, Hebrew adequate but not able to understand if spoken too fast.
At most, I can write and pray. As for the former, just got a piece on Gaza rejected by a lefto webzine because...they’re leftos, and I’m putting off searching for a different publisher and reviewing the critical comments of a friend, because I have too many time-sensitive calligraphy projects. As for the latter, He listens, but I don’t always understand His answers.
