Jude 2

That is impressive. FQ did you ever see the movie Cast a Giant Shadow ? Its about and American Army officer Colonel David Marcus who is recruited by the yet-to-exist Israel to help form an army. Marcus is conflicted because of his sudden appreciation for his Jewish heritage. Realizing... that each of Israel's Arab nations has vowed to invade the poorly prepared country once the partition has been made, Marcus is made commander of the Israeli forces just before the war begins. The all-star cast includes Kirk Douglas. It is an amazing story.

The Israelis have a cool military, alright -- but they require compulsory service too.

No I have not seen that Paul but will look into it. Thanks!
