Now how about charging $10000 for having to deal with Israeli bureaucracy? Or to experience the Israeli customer service? Those guys are so eager to exchange their money for our action!

no seriously who gets the money? Like does it go to the IDF? Does it go to buy ceramic bullet proof vests? Does it buy airplanes? Does it buy extra food? You know really where does it go?

So yea planes, foods, weapons and everything else governments pay for.

Customer Service? Where?

the money goes to several causes.... as a lone soldier I would regularly receive care packages throughout the year that were funded by FIDF. Without FIDF I wouldn't have been able to enroll myself in college this year.... I would not have been able to shoulder the full tuition burder. The financial aid im currently receiving is the only thing seperating me from having a high school education or a college education.

To facilitate, train, arm, equip, and maintain a single combat ready infantryman (of NATO calibre ie SF) costs close to $1 million a year cumulatively. Despite that in a highly operational environment things like deodorant, toothpaste, brushes, polish, soap, and socks especially, become scarce for lone soldiers who receive packages from FIDF. They also build bus stops and serve Juice, chocolate milk, and sandwiches to new recruits.

Having been one of 3 women who participated in the 1st FIDF Boot Camp Mission in 2005 - please note that this program is not only for men!

I really appreciate that you took the time to share that information with me. I wish you the best of luck and every success with your studies!
