give me a passport pls

Great thread, worth the read.

yeah did the army

i guess it made me not at all spoilt since you get shit on for 3 years.

it is a violation of personal freedom but here it is (for normal, decent people) an important criteria of being a good citizen, and i think being a good citizen is a very important virtue no matter where you live.

A chance to repay to the reason you're alive.

They will never force you to fight. If you don't want to be a fighter they won't force you, they might draft you to be a fighter if you're healthy but you can get out of it fairly easy.
If you don't want to serve at all it's not that hard to get out by whining to psychologists and you won't be hindered in life, but people will give you a look if you tell them you avoided the army. You'll get a "Medical Discharge" and it won't hurt you're chances of finding a job or whatever but probably won't look good in a resume.

Yes, there are people that complain and say it should be a paid army and that they should cancel the mandatory service, saying it would cost less tax money and be more professional but that is a different argument.

I wish I could have served as an infantry soldier, but my service was very gratifying as an F-16 technician.

this gives me signs of mild depression

Conscripts aren't paid wages?

>I wish I could have served as an infantry soldier
You weren't scared at all?

>The founders of modern Israel cursed their descendants with endless conflicts with the arabs
Really makes you think...

'fair' 'wages'

>>74143326
They're paid wages, but if you worked in a minimum wage job you would get a lot more considering when you serve you're a soldier almost 24/7.

A little, but I wanted to be the one who shoots the terrorists.

But presumably conscripts also have their housing and food costs covered by the military, right?

>>74147383
That's right.

If you have housing problems the army will provide for you a home, not just a room at your base.
If you have a family member that needs you to be around they will let you serve near home and be at home a lot to assist your family.
If you're family depends on you financially then they will put you in a job where you will have the time to work when you're not at the base.
They really put a lot of effort so that everyone except the most extreme cases can serve.

Well, you have a point there.
But you can not deny that we leave in a fucked up region.
