Israel is full of soldiers. Every train ride you take you see them carry their guns everywhere. You can tell they are pretty used to it, as you often see them sleeping quite peacefully right next to them. Its not just regulated to men, as there are as many women soldiers as men. Everyone must serve--except for the orthodox jews and the Arab-Muslims. If you are Arab-non-muslim, then you serve too. There is a lot of resentment for those that don't serve--kinda like you aren't doing your part mentality. In fact, as I write this, I am sitting next to a cute soldier-ette as I type. I wonder how I can ask, to touch her gun.
