Israeli "Battle Rations" update

[Stef]

No I understand why the Hamas and the Hizbollah do their best to be invaded by Tsahal

I agree I've met some very lovely ladies from Australia/New Zealand here in the US. Now does anybody have any more pictures of some really hot looking Israeli female soldiers?

That's funny, some of the prettiest women I've ever met were in the USA. Is it just a case of the 'grass being greener' I wonder?

A lot of US women seemed to dig my accent - I'm no Brad Pitt but they gave me lots of attention!

I have a strange accent, Very South Welsh but with a hint of English thanks to my mother growing up in England and Germany. She was an army brat and moved from place to place. I pronounce some words quite differently to my friends, they find it pretty funny.

This is guy has a similar to my accent, the recordings from a different valley about 15 miles away so it differs mines little stronger.

Even Arnold "Arni" Schwarzenegger is dubbed in German by some native German actor to hide his genuine Austrian-German Alp mountains accent.

What do you think - who can save the world?

Don't forget Gibson was born a Yank....

My Mrs says if I get drunk my long-dormant Northern English accent comes out. I went out on the beer with some old mates a while ago and she claims I came home sounding like Christopher Eccleston. I've never noticed it.

Found a picture of the "old" Manot Krav in use during the 1973 War of Attrition.

The big difference is it was packed for 5 troops, not 4 (5 being the number in a Sherman Tank crew, which had not been used by Israel for 20 years). Also one of the big entree items was a can of Turkey w/Noodles, which can clearly be seen in the picture alongside the sardines and loof.

Sorry to be a dead - thread resurrector but..

That IDF guy on the merk, eating what was taken to be the new IDF ration..

Its a clear plastic tub of strawberries. Obviously purchased at a supermarket in Sderot, just a few miles down the road.

Israel must be the only democracy in the world where you can park up your Merkava MBT and do a bit of shopping

it looks more like an M113 Zelda, modified for urban warfare.

Or just stop at the local 7-11/Quicky Mart and get something to go...?
