Well, that's good news about the Tavor. When I was in Golani in 1977 we had the Galil, and considered ourselves superior to those who carried the M16.

So when are they going to make an export version?

i love the tavor. most all of the guys in my unit know nothing about guns, and all they talk about is the m4 "flat top." "oh the flat top is so sick!" they just like the way it looks.

in all actuality, i have the "flat top" tavor - a picatin rail for putting on the 4x trijicon acog.

they're dumb and the tavor is awesome. it's a perfect battle rifle.

for example, i own an m16 in america, and even though i keep it very clean, i get jams all the time. it's a jammy gun. my tavor, in 7 months of HARDCORE use, probably thousands of rounds shot, has had ZERO jams.

zero.

Yep, the "Efes Chamesh" is really sweet. We had one mounted on top of the main cannon on our tank during the First Lebanon War. meanwhile, the PT boats were not heavily armored at all! They were so fast and manueverable precisely because they were light craft made of plywood! I hope you have a greater appreciation for your great uncle now! Shabbat Shalom Achi. Best of luck with the rest of the maslul.

Hey! Just stumbled upon your blog today! I'm a 20-year-old olah chadasha from Florida and I actually just drafted at the beginning of this year. It's hilarious to read your blog and also refreshing to know that i'm not the only one who has been wondering why israelis feel the need to complain sooooo much haha. I have a couple of friends who are in golani, drafted last year though. Good luck with everything!

good thing you have brownings, tanks, nukes and air support. those palestinian kalishnikovs and stones can be really terrifying. let's not forget how important it is to protect all those wacked out brooklyn-born settlers in the territories. also makes israel look great in the media. such a mitzvah you're doing. kol hakavod.

I wish my son was more like you. Half Israeli, ethnically Jewish, but feels no obligation to serve in either the US or IDF military. Hope he doesn't complain when the Muslims conquer all.

How are you liking the Tavor? It was introduced when I was in the army. Never got to use it myself but I heard there's a lot of criticism.
