and if he had refused to do as commanded would he have been shot himself?
If the army starts shooting its own soldiers, it's not going to exist for very long. You can read very obscure stories about occasional killings during the Vietnam War, but those are almost always things that happened in the jungle when nobody would ever find out.
If they try that kinda thing in Israel today, it's not going to be a secret, and all of the other infantry and their family are going to wonder who is next, which in turn would massively reduce support for the Israeli military.
there was a story of an iraq war soldier killed by his own squad a couple years ago. thats what put the thought in my head
No he would sit in a jail cell. As a trained soldier no one would fuck with him
Essentially a perfectly risk-free environment. But he chose murder instead
I hope these IDF soldiers wake up. You can't kill people without killing part of yourself.
I'm seeing so many parallels to our false wars in the Middle East. The vast majority of US soldiers who died did so by suicide.
Also netanyahu trying to create more generations of terrorism so he can have forever wars that keep him in absolute control. That's literally what we did, he is copying us play by play. Or perhaps we have a hand in what is happening as well... At least our intelligence agencies that is
