    Hi Rolist,

    Happy to see you back.
    I don't think it is possible to upload a PDF file. You should select the text of the file and then past it on your post. If the text is too long, you can past it on several successive posts.

    Cheers,
    Camera

    You could upload it to something like Dropbox and put it in the public folder and post the link.

    Or you could take screenshots with the snipping tool (or the like) and host them with someone like photobucket.

    Newly released 8mm tape from the war.
    http://e.walla.co.il/?w=/214/2601181

    The reporter gets hit (at about 1:45) by a shell and spends the rest of the war shelled shocked but still filming because he is high on morphine.
    He basically explain the doctors only treating the moderately wounded since the seriously wounded are doomed to a slow painful death.

    I must say, without trying to start a contest of horror, from my experience, anyone who came out of that hell,
    actually will never talk about it and certainly not open in the media.

    True, he didn't speak about for 40 years, even thou he was working for the media.
    He ended the interview by saying that the helicopter pilot told him that the heli is a medicine but not a cure. The wounded will never be the same anymore. After that the reporter stopped functioning.

    Yes – but as I mentioned, I can’t and probably will never be able to talk about it.
    So let’s leave it as it is

    I'd bet that every Israeli on this board knows someone who served in YKW. I have two cousins who served during YKW.

    Me, yes. Most Israelis have served. And I daresay. all the Israelis on this board have served.

    One cousin was in Golani, the other in Ordinance. The one who served in Golani fought in an AT unit against the Syrians. The other repaired tanks in the Sinai. A few pages back, Camera discusses in great detail the terribly important and heroic efforts by the Ordinance Corp to maintain battle damaged tanks. Until Camera's description of these events, I did not fully appreciate his role.

    Others here will have similar stories.
