Though I'm angry as hell that these kids (the future of Israel ) did not get fed properly I do not agree with going AWOL. How dare anyone go hungry in the IDF how dare the units responcable for feeding and supply shirk their duties! How dare the BC not come out of his office, though the troops went off the handle and over the fence, any prison time should go to those responcable for this "Short coming" YUP send their butts to "Kelli Shesh " for a month or two, according to to Dyan prison makes you a good soldier.;-) anyone ever wonder why fragging was so popular in Nam? well now you know REMFS (if you don't know what it means find an American Veteren, ) http:www.usidfvets.com

I'm sorry but I'm finding it very difficult to have a lot of compassion for these troops. 3 days is not that long to go without a large meal being handed to you. I would venture to say that there are people living on the streets of Israel that have gone a LOT longer without a regular hot meal.
