Because they care enough about their country to be willing to defend it. Here, everyone wants the freedoms, but how many are acually willing to fight for them?\nIf you can read, thank a Teacher. If you can read in English, thank a Veteran.

Military service should never be compulsory. For the last 30 years or so, America has relied upon an all-volunteer force, one that has performed brilliantly when called upon. (The recent news about Haditha is by far the exception).  It has been well documented around the world that countries that use predominantly volunteer forces will field a better military overall ( the only exception being Israel) Look at this way- who is going to be more enthusiastic about serving in the military- someone who wants to be there, or someone who was forced to?

Chill kid you are required by law to fill it out and give it to the post office. It doesn't mean your joining the military it puts your name on a list that if the draft were ever reinstated you could be called there are no exceptions so fill it out and send it. It's been the law since 1980's all males that turn 18 must fill out the form. don't sweat it it's nothing.

Intelligence officers are recruited the same way as anybody else.  You join the Army, tell them that's what you want to do, and then do something completely different.\n\nI haven't played the game, but I assume you are probably asking how to get into the Special Forces (Green Berets, SEALS, Force Recon and so forth).  The answer is the same as above.\n\nBe warned, however, there is a lot of competition for those positions, the training is VERY INTENSIVE, and most people DO NOT PASS.  Those poor souls, then find themselves committed to 4 years or more in the Army doing something other that what they wanted to do.\n\nThink carefully before dedicating your life to George Bush's war machine.  There's no telling what he will want you to do.

I am in the US military and we frequently meet people in other militaries.  It is usually a good experience as you learn about the persons culture and different ways that we accomplish similar tasks.  Actually one of the people I know in the US Army served in the Israeli Army too.  They are definitely impressive.\n\nI am sure you will end up getting a lot of posts that are critical of your gf.  Ignore them.  As you know service is compulsory in Israel and even if it wasn't, it is an honorable profession when chosen in the interests of democracy.

Because Palestinians want it all. Then Israel would have to fight for freedom.

It all depends on your definition of illegal.  The biggest problem is many a country has a different view on recruiting for the military.  The USA and UK for instance have voluntary personnel to fight the opposition of the moment, yet in Israel all kids are forced to fight the Palestinians.\n\nIf you can rephrase the question to your situation, it would help lots.\n\nThanks,\n\nJase

Ain't gonna happen, and with good reason.  Soldiers these days are not cannon fodder --- they are highly trained specialists in the use of advanced weapons.  And you cannot recruit, let alone retain, people qualified to do this with a draft.

because it would make israel look like the aggressor...its better to be perceived as the victim, you can get away with more and have a better chance to gain international support for any retaliations.

in order to join the US military, you must be a permanent legal resident..as in a Green card holder.  If you do not have your Green card, you may not enlist.\n\nif you do have your card and are otherwise qualified, you may not get a job as an Officer nor may you get a Security Clearance until after you get your American Citizenship.

well the army just isnt the best. i mean their physical training and mental training isnt as hard as most other branches. however they have a MUCH easier boot camp now. but if i were you, being from iraq, ild show your families and americans that you have the power to be the best, join marines or something like that. and if you have to join the army go into airborne.\np.s. please dont turn out to be a terrorist, my mom would kill me.

You most certainly do not have to be a citizen to join the US military. You do, however, have to be a legal resident. Those legal residents serving in our armed forces, however, can cut their required waiting time to become a US citizen down to three years.\n\nIn fact, many people join the military SPECIFICALLY to speed up the citizenship process. Our country realizes that serving in the armed forces requires a sacrifice. It is a dangerous job and your life is always on the line. That sacrifice is rewarded by speeding up the citizenship process. These soldiers has already shown their loyalty to this country.

When soldiers dont follow the rules of warfare it is very hard for Palestinians to fight them. Remember these pigs kill kids who are throwing stones to protest the occupation. Israel is the place of the devil, they are destroying sanctity of the Holy Land. Israel is filled with nightclubs, gay parades, and heartless IDF pigs.

My husband was 18 when he joined the Army.It was his choice to go or not.He knew what he could be dealing with.He's now 25 and went and fought the war when it first started.Now he's out the Army and wishes he was still in.I don't think its a crime,I think some young men have the will and some just are not meant to be in the Army.What ever it is they make the choice.

There are offices of the French Foreign Legion in New York and Calafirnia.  It is a little known fact that the Legion has a Corps called the Israeli Military which the will allow you to join.  \n\nThe laughing and stuff you hear when you ask to join is their spirit of comradship that they feel for the top rung recruits that they bring into the Ireali Military of the French Foreign Legion.

I believe the Israeli Army accepts any recruit, regardless of nationality, as long as he or she is Jewish.
