1. jajajaja, and where is the intelligence?
Ivan ,   Haifa   (08.04.08)
jajaja,funny
2. Walking on hot coals...
David ,   Brazil   (08.04.08)
I presume that the sage behind that 'intelectual procedure', is Mr. Eli Zeira (Israel's top intelligence expert-knows-best), e.g., his Yom Kippur War catastrophic forecast, or one of his same DNA followers. Mr. Gabi Ashkenazi with his latest statement:"We know where Shalit is, and who is holding him", is a prime heir. So much incompetence is disgusting and lethal!
3. What idiocy.
silent majority ,   Israel   (08.04.08)
I thought my taxes went to finding an army not a large corporation run by (mis)management consultants. If Microsoft or General Motors want to play sily buggers with "bonding" and challenges, all well and good. we need officers who can lead, not career-orientated idiots who will do anything to get promoted. In intelligence especially we need people who will challenge the accepted ideas; the Yom Kippur war might well have been avoided if dogma had been absent and common sense prevailed. I wouldn't follow any of these yes-men onto a number nine bus let alone into combat. How can we trust our children to the care of these self-centred managers?
4. The whole secret...
Elianah ,   Haifa, IL   (08.04.08)
...is that you're supposed to walk across some damp grass first. Get your feet damp. Then, not only do you have poor thermal conductivity from the wood but a vapor barrier between your feet and the coal as well. These "you too can do the impossible" workshops are really very silly. Especially when the impossible isn't all that impossible anyway. It's just physics.
5. I've heard of "Hot Lips" but feet?
Petra ,   USA   (08.04.08)
Who's the genius in charge of this Indian side show? Wouldn't a prayer suffice?
6. not bare footed, they walked
observer   (08.04.08)
but they couldn't understand that the first leaderships' lesson derived from the Lebanon war to RUN for your life.
7. "Military Intelligence" OXYMORON!
offri ,   israel   (08.04.08)
8. hehehehe what an idiot army!

9. "INTELLIGENT SCHLEMIELS"
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (08.04.08)
