Yes, because having to live in fear of your neighbors is "awesome" :roll:
I'm sure most Israeli's would rather have it such that they didn't need to worry about military action with their neighbors.
Again, only two of the five pics are of military equipment.
Well the OP seems to think that the military is a part of what makes Israel "awesome." Maybe it wasn't clear, but my point was that it isn't the need to be militarized that makes Israel awesome. Those other pictures are a good example of some of the beauty of Israel.
Well, for the military buff, Israel's army is awesome. It is, man for man, the best in the world. It's sad they are forced to be that way, but one can still admire it.
Yes it is quite formitable. I just see it as a necessary evil is all.
One of my good friends from my childhood is Israeli - I remember how his parents had to frequently fly back and serve in the military there. I think that is when I first realized how different this part of the world is than many other places.
On another note, I would love to see Israel in person. My old roommate went there recently as part of a birthright trip. I am considering doing that myself, just need to get the vacation time from work first!
