    Why, gotta have someplace to put the receiver of a radio if you're not wearing a helmet.

    I never had problems with that, must be a para's thing to complain about a little button pain. Soft.
    Name tag - stupid.
    Shirt that looks like a dress - stupid.
    I'm in for miluim this July, there's no way i'm going to wear that crap. Lucky for me I have a secret stash of all the nice comfy old unis

    Yes. As long as you don't bring stuff that makes you stand out. You can bring your own boots, vest (color permitting) gloves etc..

    Finally! Some reasonably looking bet and worn out of pants. Now change the alef to something even remotely uniform like and get normal hard shell jackets and together with the new boots we will have finally a reasonably dressed army.

    [edit]

    And FFS find a normal looking grunt to model and not some pogue tadpole.
    Ah, and camo, I want a decent all-terrain camo. Then we'll be really fine.
    Erm...has anyone instructed this young man on how to safely handle an iron and an ironing board ?
    If I walked out looking like this, I could expect to have my ears hanging around my neck within five minutes !

    We don't iron uniforms in the IDF. Dress uniforms on the other hand are made from mainly Polyester and don't get wrinkled.

    Keep in mind that Israel still has the 7th brigade with Mk2, and Magach tanks in reserve. Israel will build hundreds of additional Mk4's with APS over the next years in order to retire Mk2's and Magachs.
    Do you think are there any chance Indonesia will buy Merkava / Namer?
