Awe man that made my heart hurt,

Does she listen to much music to compensate, back in my childhood days of awkward questions I remember always choosing blind over deaf because of music.

Obviously I have no comprehension of what it is like either way. But I like music and I find so many people simply overlook and ignore just how fucking fantastic some of the stuff out there really is.

Does she trust you to pick out clothes for her? or does she have to call her mates every time she goes shopping?

Also, congrats, a happy marriage is lovely thing man.

When you said

Everything

What were you really hoping would be asked?

ilamaaa147 karma

"Are you fluent in Hebrew?" Yes,

"What is the ratio between soldiers like yourself and the ones that were bred in Israel" Ummm... hard to say in Combat it would be about 1-30 I would hazard a guess, In non Combat less than 1% non Nationals.

"Are you treated like a hero? or just another dude..." It depends on who, I would say about 50% like a hero and about 50% like any other dude. I personally felt the Hero thing was unwarranted. (the other soldiers I served with all treated me like any other dude).

"Whats the best thing you liked about it all and the worst thing?" Best thing undoubtedly was finishing, and the Worst 2 guys I served with committed Suicide (different occasions), which lead to difficult time for motivation and widespread depression.

"Did you ever grace the prime minister with your presence?" Nope, I was never chosen for those types of things.. Probably cause I am no Zionist and a bit outspoken.

"Any regrets? And what are your proudest moments?" Regrets, I don' think I did enough to try and about the Palestinian stand point, I always considered myself open-minded but I was never overly actively curious. My SO at the moment is writing a Thesis about Israel Palestinian Cinema as a Medium for for discussion and awareness, (bad translation.. she writing it in French) and I feel like if I had known before what I know now I could have made allot more of the opportunity. Proudest Moment, There were allot.. but probably just doing it.. getting it done with, I finished three long and difficult years and no matter what people think about it I am proud of that. (Ireland is very Anti Israel and not very well informed so not that many people I meet here have any idea why or what I did)
