1. Being cynical I'd say it makes sense, since we're into sur-
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.21.13)
render mode on the political scene.Why risk your life&limb for something, that later on will be undone by flick of a wrist holding a pen....?
2. Motivated 39 yr old right here
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.21.13)
If ever there is a need or a shortage of troops, Israel can rely on the broken down middle aged men and women to pick up a rifle and stand at post. I will be more than happy to pick up the slack. I am a qualified expert marksman for both M16 and M249 squad assault rifle as well as an expert in the Stinger missile system, 50 Cal, Mark-19 grenade launcher, close quarters combat, and other specialties.
3. The headline may as well have said more soldiers with blonde
Andi ,   Israel   (07.21.13)
hair are being recruited, as that would have been about as accurate as the present headline. The present headline is completely in accurate for all the reasons written in the article below it. There is no drop in motivation.
4. Opposite for Men from the Yishuvim

5. No Surprise
dianak ,   germany   (07.21.13)
Who wants to die , for a bunch of traitors and liars like Bibi ????? Die for people that release Terrorists and donĀ“t care about the victims ???? Noway !!!!!!! All the victimis , all the pain , all the wars and high taxes for nothing !!!! At the end they will give Jerusalem , Judea and Samaria for nothing in return. It is better to stay away from this web of lies and preserve your life.
6. Being pressured to cave in
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.21.13)
The nations are prophesied to come against Israel at the End of Days. ALL NATIONS, this iIncludes the USA, and it seems that it will be the USA leading the charge not Russia or China. Obama is encoded in the Prophets as Nasi Gog. The concessions our weak government caves into at the beheast of the Americans and their threats/ blackmail will not go unpunished. America is experiencing many shocks and traumas to their everyday lives. Most Americans realize that there is a foreign entity controlling their government, their media, their LIVES. The army of darkness comes from the west primarily and it is no wonder why they are referred to as an army of darkenss... We are very near a huge event in history.
7. Motivation Is Through The Roof In Judea And Samaria
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (07.21.13)
Almost all guys here where I live want commando units, Paratroopers, Golani, Givati, Nachal, or Engineering. And those who don't want the most elite physical units (because they know where they are strong) want the most elite cerebral units; 8200, etc.
8. Agree with Dror
Stuart ,   South Africa   (07.21.13)
Here is a 48 year old ex Marine, non Israeli citizen that is both willing and able to defend the Holy Land. There is no shortage of us who would do this
9. Israeli Foreign Legion
Zhenia ,   Russia   (07.21.13)
While I know that logistically and security-wise it would be next to impossible, Israel would very much benefit from a Foreign Legion like France or Spain. There is no shortage of Jews and Gentiles who would gladly serve Israel (1) out of conviction and (2) to start a new life. Of course, that is never going to happen. But, it is a neat idea.
10. Stuart in South Africa
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.21.13)
Stand with us in the information war until the final war that will have to be fought. That war will be fought by God alone against the Hordes of Gog and Magog. No man or army will defeat them. The Glory will go to God and God alone. I feel sorry for all of those troops that will be anhilated by the Hand of God, but they are called an Army of Darkness and they are referred to as the dark ones, shame to know that Americans will be amongst them, tragic...
