1. Did they let him keep the loot?

Did the army close all the military prisons? He should have been sentenced to ten years in prison and demoted to private. Now defense lawyers can say that their clients that robbed banks were only taking express loans and would return the money in the future with interest.
2. He stole explosives, told lies, gets off.

3. this court judgement is funnier than Gaddafi & Ahmadinejad

Steals guns and explosives and he gets less than a slap on the wrist, didn't the court take into account things like motive? Why would any soldier steal machine guns explosives and all kinds of other military toys if he didn't have ulterior motives like selling. This guy was a lieutenant awaiting promotion not some idiot 18 year old in tiranoot who thinks its really cool he has been given access to weapons for the first time in his life and decides to steal a smoke grenade to show off to his friends. A month and half of community service and not even a lowering in rank, wouldn't surprise me if he still got his promotion. I imagine the haredi who spat at a woman will probably get worse than that.
4. Let me get this straight
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (12.25.11)
this guy STEALS weapons from the IDF and gets community service and a demotion, and soldiers who walk out on a woman singing are kicked out of officer's training. Let me guess, the thief was secular, right?
5. im not defending him but i can say from PERSONAL
Ester   (12.25.11)
experience that almost ALL the soldiers steal military objects from the army
6. Stupid sentence.
Spencer ,   Israel   (12.25.11)
That trhis officer is still an officer is a disgrace. What kind of example does this set to young soldiers? His punishment is also ridiculous. He shoud be serving time. The "Military Judge" should also be demoted for deriliction of duty. The sentence imposed by him is a joke!~
7. Knife, bullets, smoke grenades, textbooks...

SMALL POTATOES. But ceramic vests don't come cheap. Seriously. Those are probably worth a FORTUNE on the black market. Well, if you know how to bargain anyways.
