 I hate to say this, but I am expendable. 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.

Yes, that's it, thanks. Reserve might not have been the correct term,
but I know that it is not the normal French army. I'll read up more in
wikipedia. Thanks.

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?

That was very likely not compulsory service. Especially if he served  years.

I will agree with you that the Hezbollah are very well trained. I have
not fought the Iranian Elite Units, but I will take your word for it.

You are telling me? I don't dare to express the situation that you are
referring to neither in public not private, but the fact that we
managed to get through amazes me to this day. There was one point
where in the middle of urban combat I took a pomegranade from a tree
in a village and started eating. Under fire. That wasn't even the
worst of it.

 Hell, your Generals are definitivly braindamaged!


No, definetely not, at least not the combat generals. The logistics
generals, though...

 I call you Israelien camerads @army Kanonenfutter.


I do not know French nor German, so I can only guess that means cannon snacks?

Where were you stationed? We passed one UN base near Marajuin but it
seems to be Fuji soldiers there. Very large, dark skinned soldiers.

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.

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.

Although it seems to install fine in the latest (1.0!) Wine, the game
is unplayable. The screen just flashes. I'll wait until games4lin
comes out, I suppose. Or not.

Check your video drivers.  Wine 1.0 should be sufficient for
running older abandonware like that.

I've yet to install the 1.0 on any of my systems yet.  Let me know
off-list how your experience has been so far, Dotan.
