The blog I found it on said it was such and provided a link. That, and the people in the pic look Israeli (at the risk of being called a racist). I found it through StumbleUpon. I'll see if I can dig up the link.

while hot chicks are always great to look at, it gets annoying when you've seen the same pics posted 100000000000 times already.

Military state FTW? Sure, superficially, women with guns are "cool" -more to the point: strong women capable of defending themselves but better fit than armed if one must choose. Plus, I do tend to think that compulsory service is a Good Thing (TM) if it must exist at all. However, when considering that it represents imperialism, oppression, and genocide more than a plucky bastion of democracy, the attraction loses vigor.

Yeah, guns are cool and everything but the fact that they are necessary is uncool.

True, but necessity has also made Israel in general kicka$$ by comparison to the rest of the region (and most of the world for that matter).

I know it's old news, but anyone else read that article that said the Israeli strike in Syria may have been to test ECM? Apparently they flew all the way across Syria to the Iraqi border, and flew back, destroyed the reactor on the way. Makes sense too. The reactor was in an early stage of construction. Why not wait till it was near completion? You could do a hell of a lot more damage that way.

Also, IIRC Syria is in the process of installing an advanced (and very expensive) Russian AA system along it's borders. I think Israel just showed that western technology owns.

Whoa there Mr Political.

I'm sure you've formulated these opinions after several visits to the country. Yup, well-founded opinions are a bastion of ATOT.
