Despite the progress in the integration of women in combat roles in the IDF, there are those who are still convinced that there is no place for this type of integration, and as always the sensitive issue manages to provoke a storm when it comes up for discussion.
The person responsible for this this time is a former fighter in a mixed battalion, who was quoted in a post that appeared yesterday (Tuesday) on the IDF Confessions Facebook page.
"There is no such thing as warriors," the former warrior wrote, "it is time for someone to say that. Many will not like to hear it, but there is no such thing as warriors.
"Everyone who has served in a mixed battalion knows that the fighters do anything that is hard to define and more trustworthy. "Not to mention the 'sorting' done to Elek settlements. Respect for fighters who cross the bar and also set a bar for the fighters, but you can be counted on one hand," the writer concluded, noting that he served in a mixed battalion.
Responses to the charged post were not long in coming, and as expected many of them were angry and did not come only from women.
"As one who served in the Border Guard (as a NCO - don't say I'm a fighter then I got upset), I was exposed to great fighters doing the same job as the fighters, and many times there were more cannons than them (by the way it would not hurt to hear some news lately)" , A surfer article.
"I do not so much know what is happening in mixed battalions but even if it was true - unnecessary post. What made you take them down? Made you feel good about yourself? Dealing with your job and learning to pargan, it does not cost money."
"Are you so disconnected? In the units involved they are trained just like the fighters, and let me tell you a secret, they also work much harder than them because they have to prove themselves. "
"What happened? All the girls finished in front of you as a fighter tester so are you nervous?", A surfer wrote, adding:
"And you're probably the cruiser's John Wick," mocked another surfer, then concluded: "Make pickles and tell me how it turned out."
Were we wrong?
