Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: IDF Rifles Msg# 1027970

There's no question in my mind that the IDF is a tough, competent organization. The only laxity I was looking at, and I think more and more that it's just different rather than lax, was the way they seemed to sling their rifles, in particular when off duty.
Harvey G recommended a documentary to me, Beneath the Helmet, about the transformation of diverse Israeli high school graduates into an airborne unit. While they did seem to favor a loose two-point sling, I didn't think it was quite that loose or that the rifles were carried so casually down their backs. Then again, it could be the difference between on-duty and off-duty. In any event, I think I've beaten this question to death and am happy to drop it. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: U R, if a Hajie, a Marine term for all terrorist poked his nose up from whatever hole he was living in you would see just how quick they can bring their weapons into action, they are never, I repeat NEVER lax, they know thats what gets u killed |
