He will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 25:8
OT: Let's have a shout out for that most famous French infantryman: Charles, the Hammer, Martel, who turned back the Moors near Paris at Tours on 10/10 732. Here's to you, big guy. And for giving us your grandson Charlemagne
I think of a lesson my father taught me from his service. If you're the senior person in danger, your job is getting your people to the right place, and be the last one out.
This is entirely keeping with the highest traditions of military service, where a leader goes forth to protect their charges.
I understand your intent and theme, but would like to point out that the linked article was additions to the list. I remember a previous article with several Brigade commanders, senior Mossad, Matkal, Maglan and Shin Bet leaders. this may be a good list for the Army, but my translator seems to think the whole IDF are Major Generals.
My counter meme would be that when metal started hitting meat, a bunch of senior IDF leaders, picked up carbines, and started leading pick-up squads into blocking positions.
All war is so fucking terrible. I pray the Israelis have the resolve to make this one fast and definitive.
AMEN to that! Served in Nam and that’s ALL we were!! PS> HAPPY BIRTHDAY to we in the US Navy!!
The young pay the price. Rest in peace.
He will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 25:8
Terrorists will never be able to defeat people like Lt Ben Simon. They will never be able to break Israel.
She was an "edel mensch"
A Warrior
A very brave woman. Brings to mind the quote from the end of The Bridges of Tokyo-Ri, "Where do (they) get such (wo)men?" RIP
May her memory be a blessing - and lead a revolution.
