Pistols and Pony Tails

I have to say: there is nothing sexier than a nubile young woman holding an assault rifle. These nice ladies are everywhere. Guarding bus stations, checkpoints, strategic monuments and street corners. What a sight. If you have never locked eyes with a cute girl in combat fatigues wielding a weapon and a purse, I highly recommend it.

Israel has had conscription into the Israel Defense Force since its independence in 1948. All Jewish Israeli citizens over the age of 18 are supposed to serve in the IDF. Men serve for 3 years, women for 21 months.
