2. y hasn't this gone to "MESTACH" (military court)?
Ima shel Chayalim ,   Israel   (08.12.11)
if the officer has molested female soldiers while they slept...he's be in the pokey and MESTACH would have been called in long ago! What's going on here?!
3. ohh im sorry for the soldiers :(

4. In their sleep? Naive
George Bruno ,   EU/US   (08.12.11)
Wake up and smell the roses. The story is not credible the way it is told. Pretty sure there are lots of (closet)gays in the military but cannot see how these paratroopers got abused in their sleep. And this guy went through service, officer school without anyone knowing? Com on...
5. Don't ask, don't tell
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.12.11)
That was also the American Military Policy, which justifies exactly nothing Using NY as a piss poor example, their Mayor recently performed marriages of more than 600 same sex couples It was said that Yasser Arafat was always surrounded by handsome bodyguards, he too preferred companionship of the same sex
6. OFFICER WAS CHECKING
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (08.12.11)
Da officer man was just checking their weapons ,and he found them to be in outSTANDING condition and well greased .And they weren't shooting no blanks neither.
7. RESIGNED!!? Why not arrested?
noel nesor ,   israel   (08.12.11)
8. #7 Resignation is far worse than arrest
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.12.11)
If arrested, it would have meant a Mishpat Zvai, then possible findings of not guilty Although it's concievable he will be arrested at some future date Since he resigned, he has already forfeited his pension and all the benefits he had accrued Besides, since the country is so small, he's going to have one hell of a hard time finding a new job
9. How can we fight wars when...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.11)
Our soldiers are busy sodomizing each other? I call for a strict a punishment with no mercy...
10. I love Israel :)

DemocracyRules ,   Canada   (08.13.11)
Just because Jews wrote the Bible doesn't mean they are entitled to beat people over the head with it. It would be better to actually read it. Yes, the Bible says fornication is a sin. But it also says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." This news item makes unproven and defamatory allegations. Intimate sexual contact with a sleeping person will almost always wake them up. Therefore, it's not possible for this officer to have had such contact with numerous soldiers without being noticed. The contact may have been consensual or the soldiers may have been drugged. Or the reporter may have been drugged. If the officer quit, he quit. We don't know why until we know. The rest is baseless conjecture. Pro Patria
12. To Sarah B - there was no sodomy
Avi ,   Israel   (08.13.11)
Sarah, contrary to your post there was no sodomy. Apparently the officer "touched them" where he shouldnt have while they were asleep. Dont make matters worse.
