If that's what it takes to keep my country and my family safe, myself and many other men would quickly rise to take the fire. The only other real option is artillery and the Air Force, neither of which can perform the precision work that we do. Our enemy is hiding among civilians, and our job is to protect civilians. Whether those are Israeli, Lebanese, or Palestinian civilians does not matter. > Shamelessly lifted that from Wikipedia. But yeah, you're right.

Cannon fodder is an informal term for military personnel who are regarded or treated as expendable in the face of enemy fire. The term is generally used in situations where soldiers are forced to deliberately fight against hopeless odds (with the foreknowledge that they will suffer extremely high casualties) in an effort to achieve a strategic goal. An example is the trench warfare in World War I. The term may also be used (somewhat pejoratively) to differentiate infantry from other forces (such as artillery, air force or the navy). The term derives from fodder - food for livestock - however in this case soldiers are the metaphorical food for cannons. - Shamelessly lifted that from Wikipedia. But yeah, you're right. It was also a fantastic video game in the style of Warcraft/Command & Conquer, but before its time. Todd Boyd Web Programmer

Re: [PHP] Re: Re: Re: Military Service WAS [PHP] Capitalization of variable
What wierd things have you read? I'm agreeing with Dotan, I dont know how things going these days in the Israeli army, but if you are looking at the history, it proves what Dotan said, whenever we had no technolgy, no development we were still able to strike out the enemy. I guess any of us can't debate with solid facts, can't we?
