Anyone knows how to upload a PDF file?
THANKS
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.

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.
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.
Has anyone served in the Yum Kippur conflict or know family/Friends who was an vet?
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.
Uri, my cousin, was killed in Sinai in his Centurion tank.
