Army Trouble T_T

Hello everyone. I am in dire need of advice regarding the army. I'm a 16 year old girl, NY born and I've lived both in Israel and in the states. I am sure that the army is an amazing experience, but I am afraid that it just doesn't happen to be the right path for me. Next week I am going to speak with the army [לישכת גיוס] and I'm having trouble figuring out what to tell them. I am sure they hear at least 5 people each day who don't feel like joining the army, which puts me in a difficult position. No matter where I lived, I have always known that when I graduated high school I would go to college. I moved here in 8th grade and I didn't really have a say in it, so I find it hard to believe that I should change my plans because of something I didn't do. As hard as I try, I just don't feel like I belong here. I don't feel like I belong anywhere, because I've been moved around my entire life and all I want is freedom and to finally have the opportunity to go find myself and do the things I love. I don't see how it will help any country to keep an 18 year old girl who is longing to see the world feeling locked up and forcing her to give up her dreams. All I would do is wonder what I would be doing if I were in college. If I were free.




What are your suggestions?
I really don't want to lie to anyone, and I can't change the way I feel.
If anyone can give me advice I welcome it and would greatly appreciate it.
Please be honest.
-Liat

You wanted an honest answer, well here goes:

What you described - "I'm sure the army doesn't want an 18 year girl longing to see the world and make her give up her dreams" - that is like saying "I'm sure the army doesn't want people"

Everyone has dreams, everyone is longing to see the world, and many people don't feel like they belong. But it's not always about yourself - You can't always think of your own interests - "Do I wanna go the army? Do I wanna be in the army?"

The army doesn't want you to have fun, he wants you because he needs you to be part of a system meant to protect Israel and it's Jewish citizens. I'm sure with all your difficulties you are used to think about serving your own interest, but it's not always about that. What about girls just your age who went to the army in order to protect you while you lived here?

Do you think other people your age don't have dreams, and long to see the world? Are you kidding me?

אני מצטרף לאותו אחד שהגיב מעליי...

ואם את מבינה עברית אז אני רק רוצה להגיד לך שהגישה שלך פשוט הרתיחה אותי, מה זאת האינטרסנטיות הזאת? עאלק את רוצה להגשים את החלומות שלך... ולשאר האנשים אין חלומות? עזבי אנחנו ישראלים את אמריקאית את "עילוי" לעומתנו את צריכה ללמוד בקולג' אנחנו כנראה נועדנו לעבוד בשוק...

ועוד לחשוב שאת צריכה לעשות רק שנתיים ויש בנות שעושות 3 שנים ועוד קרביות, הגישה שלך פשוט אינטרסנטית עזבי אל תעשי צבא לכי "תגשימי את החלומות שלך", לכל מי שעושה צבא אין חלומות...

Don't evaluate your own worth with regards to the IDF. Leave it to Army to find a suitable job for you.

I am not 100% familiar with the laws governing the drafting process, but it seems you are legally obligated to serve as any other citizen who has lived in Israel his entire life, correct? If not, there's nothing to talk about.

I am an Israeli, but I have lived abroad for most of my life (I am the son of a Foreign Ministry official, so naturally we traveled alot due to the nature of my father's work.) I have lived in many, many, places, and everywhere I went I would study in the local American school (hence the English.) It's hard when you're in highschool, seeing all your friends doing their SATs with hopes of getting into college while you live amongst them with the knowledge that you will be spending the next 2-3 years in the armies. It feels as if your friends have a "head start" on life. It's very frustrating.

I am now 19, rapidly approaching 20, living in Israel (permanently now, since age 18) and I got exempt from the army. I am now pursuing an academic degree and am about to finish my first year (out of three.) I have already begun training for combat service in the army, even though I am under no legal obligation to do so. As corny as this might sound, I could never look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see if I dodged service. As I returned to Israel I re-kindled my Jewish and Israeli identity and I can't imagine myself withouy the prospect of being a soldier in the future.

Your attitude is very immature, if you'd excuse me for saying so.But you're 16, so it's ok. Again, let me tell you NONE of your friends will have a "head start" on you. Life is long and exciting, and the 2years of service don't spell out "the end of the world." Believe it or not, you can see the world and be free AND complete your service...I'm sure you've heard of the post-service backpacking trip fad amongst released soldiers in Israel.

At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself if you consider yourself Israeli, or American. If you're Israeli, then suck it up and do the service. There's nothing else to say.

If you're American, then go live in America or wherever else, and live a long and prosperous life. But keep in mind that if you step on Israeli soil AFTER the age of 18, you WILL be sent to jail UPON LANDING. You will be released eventually, but the process can take many, many months. These sorts of cases are far from unheard of. When you get released you will be DEPORTED (it's not fun and you can bet you won't be feeling respected) and your citizenship probably REVOKED. If you can live with that, then fine.

Re-reading your message, it seems you're trying to get us all to pat you on the back, say "it's ok honey, we understand" and give you a free-pass for draft-dodging. , which is technically what you are speaking of. This forum does not appreciate people like this. I am not official spokesman for the Fresh community nor do I presume to be , but people with problems such as yours will not receive much sympathy, for obvious reasons.

I always knew my father and I would someday take a trip to India together. It was a given, wasn't a doubt in my mind that it would happen. Then a few months ago he got terribly sick, and we didn't understand why. 5 weeks later he passed away. Melanoma, 9years "removed," had over time metastisized and spread into his brain, lungs and liver.

Life is strange that way, you know? You need to roll with the punches. You say you KNOW your destiny is in college, and I say you're 16 years old and don't really know anything...

Anyways, I sincerely apologize if I came off somehow as patronizing, condescending or offensive, it really wasn't my intention. I'm just trying to make a point in the strongest way possible.

Good luck, whichever path you choose to take.

Thank you for your input, I really appreciate your honesty and that you tried to understand where I'm coming from. That whole missing out feeling was actually a lot stronger when I first moved here. It wasn't easy. It's really great that you find yourself here..that you belong. I can't choose between being Israeli or American because I don't feel like either. It's a lot easier to be born somewhere and live there your entire life, so I don't really think that someone who hasn't experienced what I have can tell me where I belong or how I should feel. All I know is that right now the army is not the right place for me and I want to go already and learn all of the things I've been waiting to learn ever since I moved here. I want to live my life not spend another two years waiting. Four have been more than enough.
I actually was not aware that this was some kind of patriotic site and I didn't mean to aggravate anyone. I actually already know that I don't want to go to the army right now and I was looking for advice on what I should tell the lishaca. I'm afraid that if I tell them the truth, they won't let me go..

טוב נעבור כבר לעברית, יותר טוב

אם את תגידי את האמת, סביר להניח, בסתברות גבוה מאוד, שבכל זאת תשרתי.

ואם את תשאלי כל אחד כאן עצות על מה להגיד, תקבלי אותה תשובה: האמת.

אף אחד כאן לא הולך לתת לך טיפים על איך לשקר או לגבש עמדה ככה שהסיכוים להשתחרר יגדלו...

ולאן את ממהרת? את סך הכל בת 16, יש לך שנתיים להחליט סופית מה את רוצה...כשתגיעי לגשר אז תחצי אותו. בעיות זהות זה נורמלי בגיל ההתבגרות (וגם מעבר לגיל זה )

תכלס כמו שאמרתי, כמו שאמרו וכמו שימשיכו להגיד אם את רוצה להיות ישראלית אז בכיף, אבל תעשי את זה עד הסוף אם לא, אז מה לעשות...רק קחי בחשבון את הדברים שכתבתי בהודעה מעל, יכול להיות בהמשך החיים תתחרתי ל מעשייך... את או תצרטרכי "לברוח" לפני הגיוס ולא לחזור (אלא אם כן את מוותרת על אזרחות, אבל אני לא בכיא בכל התהליך הזה) או לבלות הרבה חודשים בכלא על השטמתות ולשאת אות כלון על כך אם כן תבחרי לחיות בארץ...

I think that you should go to the army because you say that you feel that you dont belong here so if you go to the army i believe you will finally feel that you belong here

Okay, I don't want to preach about commitment to Israel and being true to your heritage and stuff, first of all because many people here already mentioned it, second, because I feel it's difficult to use it to convince someone in your position (having lived abroad for most of your life) and third, well, because frankly it's not for everyone and it's your right to hold your opinion.

Your doubt is natural and I understand it. You come from a different culture, while the army really is part of the daily life in Israel. I served in a unit that deals with foreign relations. As it probably sounds, we had a lot of soldiers very much like you - either native english speakers or children of various diplomats or, most prominently, completely new "olim" who barely speak hebrew. Of those latter, I have never met one who regretted her service in the army. I'm talking about guys and girls who left their families in the US and moved to Israel alone, to live in a kibbutz.

I understand the doubts about college as well. When I was your age, I was worried about it too. I didn't think I'd fit in the army and that it would be much more useful for everyone if I got a college degree first and then worked for the army as an engineer (there's a program like this, called "Atuda"). I didn't qualify for some reason, but I'm studying in the Technion now, at age 22, and I thank god every second that I didn't go for it earlier, not knowing what i'm getting myself in to and not having some life experience behind me. A lot of people in Israel start college at these ages and even older, not many complain about it.

You see, the army gives you a great opportunity to examine yourself and evolve before you step out into the real world. While in the army, I escorted a group of american students on project "Taglit", you may know about it, and I don't mean to patronise but what the army gave me showed clearly in contrast to the guys who went straight to college. The army taught me maturity, patience, responsibility, and believe me, I'm not just tossing around slogans. I honestly can't imagine myself without that period in my life.

Of course, what I said still depends on your attitude. I believe that the law applies to you as to anyone else, so you'll have to get drafted eventually. I suggest you to consider things a lot more before deciding that you're not fit for it or something. Consider what I said, even if the ideology behind it all doesn't appeal to you. If you go to the army with a positive attitude about it, you may very well share my views at the end. If you convinve yourself you don't fit, you'll just waste the time waiting for it to end. Nevertheless, at the bottom line, it's just two years. No biggie.

Good luck.

As someone said before and i'll say it again, its all come to whether you feel as an Israeli citizen or American one.
I'm only 17, not much older then you, was born in Israel, and I assume that like everyone in here I was told at the age of 6 that when i'll be 18 there will be world peace and I wont need to serve in the army, and as everyone else my parents was also wrong.

I knew since I started thinking clearly that I will serve in the army the best way I can, I will give everything I can, not only for helping this country survive, but also as some gesture to the people who made this all possible.
Hundreds of thousands of them, who died, suffered, and gave their WHOLE lives so we, the Jewish people will have our own place where no one will hunt us for beeing jewish.
They didn't gave 3 years of combat service, or in your case 2 ( or less now days ) of risk free service, they gave it all.
There's not a a single day i'm not giving it some kind of thought, when I take a hot shower or going to sleep, when i'm not thinking even for a second about how damn lucky I am, only.

So I guess you understand how hard it is at list for me to hear the things you say.
Do you think the girls in my class doesn't have plans? Do you think they doesn't have dreams? and that they doesn't want to go the college and start their lives?

Of course they do, but as citizens of the state of Israel we're obligated to serve in the army, and i'm not talking about the freaking law, no, I don't care whether they force me to serve or not, this is our duty because of us beeing Jewish, and for giving the oppurtonity to live in Israel as free people after centuries we didn't had this luxury.

I was born here, which means it wasn't my choice either, but now that you're here, it's your duty to serve in the IDF.
If everybody says "I don't want to join the army, it isn't for me - I want to go to college and see the world", then we wouldn't have an army that can protect us, now would we?
You were saying that you're here since the 8th grade (age 13-14), so I guess you know how crucial is the IDF to Israel, we do fight our way day and night for the last 5,000 years, only for being Jewish.

For one thing, you think about the army the wrong way. You say you want to go to college, well, the army can be a part of that. It's called "Atuda" and you can be a student while serving the army.
Anyway, for most girls, the service is full of experiences that most people in the world will never participate in. Maybe you should hear more about it from a female soldier, but there are many jobs that are pure fun, or at least, very interesting. It's a very good feeling to know that you're doing something so important and critical to the safety of the Israeli citizens.

Since you all about interests, here's an incomplete lists of benefits that serving the army gives you:
1. You will meet a lot of interesting people, that can help you later in life
2. Some of the closest friendships started while serving the army. You might just find some true friends
3. This is a one-time experience which only few across the world went through, and will probably be more interesting and exciting than everything you'll go through in your entire life.
4. Finally you're going to feel belong to somewhere. You'll be a part of the Israeli society
5. After 2 years of hard work (or easy work, depends on what you choose to be), you are more likely to succeed in whatever you do later. I have a hard time telling you this, but you're too selfish and immature. This is not the kind of people that other people like, and being immature will not help you go through college. How are you going to convince yourself to wake up every morning, do all the homework and do other assignments that might arouse? Army does that for you, the switch between "I want to" and "I have to".

Well, it's a really long list and I'm a really busy man, so I'll better stop before it gets too late.

Choose wisely

As I was reading the first few words of your message I was thinking to my self "Hi, maybe it's my younger brother writing",

as he is your age and lives in the states (but, naturally, as happens to most brothers, is a boy).

You state that you can not yet define yourself as Israeli nor as American. Well, if you ever wish to see yourself as an Israeli and perhaps live in Israel, you'll have to serve in the army in two years. In other words- don't block your future option to be an Israeli just becuase army service looks intimidating to you these days, as you are only 16.

As your only 16 years old, spending two years of your life seems terrible- damn, it's 1/8 of your life so far- quite a setback, comparing to your friends in the states. But actually, it's not only a setback, but also a head-start. While your friends will all have about the same expiriences before they mature and define themselves as adults- you'll have an additional, refreshing bundle of expiriences that might give you a great deal of help in knowing yourself and making the right choice of life path and carreer.
To be honest, the greatest thing army service gave me was the option not to make life steering decisions at the immature age of 18.

This is not a patriotic site, it's a rationale one. Everyone of the teenagers that write here has his or her own dreams. They all want to see the world, they'll all hate the sleepless nights, not seeing mom and dad for long periods etc. But they all understand, on a rationale basis, that they have to do that- and they know they can still pursuit their dreams 2-3 years later- when they're much more mature.

To sign my short article, I'll tell you a little secret- army service in the IDF is not as bad as you see it, if you don't have the aproach that your message shows. It's not devestating to serve a cuase rather then to serve yourself, as it's only for a pre-defined period of time, a tiny bit of your life, actually.

אין לי מושג אם מישהו כבר כתב את זה פה כי כל המגילות באנגלית ארוכות לי מדי
אבל רציתי לתת נקודה למחשבה לאותה ילדה קטנה וקצת מרוכזת בעצמה

מדינת ישראל, בניגוד לארצות הברית שלך, היא מדינת העם היהודי. מה המשמעות? שהיא בית לכל יהודי העולם והיא תגן עליהם בכל מחיר.
עצם זה שנולדת יהודיה, הופך אותך שייכת לכאן גם אם נולדת בזימבבוה ואף פעם לא ביקרת אפילו בישראל
מדינת ישראל ובכלל זה גם צה"ל, נועדו לביות בית ליהודים, גם למקרה של משהו בסגנון השואה, חס וחלילה.
לא פעם ולא פעמיים ניסו להשמיד את היהודים בעולם וכן כן, גם כרגע אנחנו בסכנת השמדה. ואם את היית נולדת בשנות ה30, לא היה מעניין אף קצין SS שאת מרגישה שייכת לעולם ולא לישראל. ואם חס וחלילה ייצא לך להתקל באחמדיניג'ד, לא יזיז לו שנולדת באמריקה. בשבילם את יהודיה בדיוק כמוני.
זו הסיבה שאני וכל מי שגר פה וגם אלפי בני נוער מכל רחבי העולם, באים לשרת בצה"ל. כדי להגן על כל העם היהודי באשר הוא ולשמור שלך תהיה מדינת במקרה שלא יהיה לך לאן ללכת.

מספיק עם הבולשיט של אני לא שייכת לכאן. בשנייה שנולדת יהודיה את שייכת לכאן ויש לך חובות. לא רוצה לשרת בצבא כמו כל אזרח מין השורה? לא למלא חובות משמע לוותר על זכויות. ותרי על האזרחות שלך ולכי תחיי בשוויץ
גם אני ילדה בת 18 וגם לי יש חלומות. גם אני רוצה לראות עולם ולהיות חופשיה. אז?! אבל ההבדל זה שאני חושבת קצת מעבר לאני ואני, ודוחה את הכל בשנתיים.
חבל על הגישה הזאת של "שכולם פה ייתפוצצו, אני רוצה לטייל".

You are selfish it shows you lived in the US and you are the reason why J F Kennedy said "Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"
So as an American or as an Israeli, by the moral laws of both countries you must join the army.
If you were a male I'd say, well, he has been living here only for 4-5 years I can understand why he doesn't want to die for Israel, but as A girl, you will not risk your life, you will meet people, finally belong to somewhere and it's only for two year.

Now that was the moral side, now is the law and human side.
You lived here for a few years, untill you will reach the age of 18, you will be living here for at least 5 years, in this time people, 18-21 kids lost their life so you will livein peace with your dream of letting them die so you can go to colleage. The country gave you money when you came here, this country gave you security, free education, a place to live when you do not have anti semits all around you, now it's your turn to give back what you must give by law.

I was born in Switzerland came here on the first grade, didn't speak hebrew, didn't choose to come here, I just came along with my family - just like you did. I can even by law not serve in the IDF because I am a swiss and guess what, I am joining the army on the 15 of july. Not only that, my intention were to sign for at least a year more but I was draffted to a unit that doesn't sign you for more time. So I have the same "problem" as you have but I choose to give back to the country I live in, even if I didn't choose too live here, I am living here and now it's my turn too give back.

I'll sum it up - JOIN THE ARMY, it's not a question, it's the law and even if you are a self center child that doesn't care that people died so she will live, you must serve in the army. We all have dreams, we all want to have a 10,000$ work when we are 21 after finishing the colleage, but we all let it wait a few year because we owe it to our country.

Good luck.

דבר ראשון, תודה על התיקון באנגלית, טעות קצת מביכה (ככה זה כשחולים).

דבר שני, תיקנתי את ההודעה, אני בהחלט מבולבל היום... לפחות יש לי אישור מהרופאה.

אם היא פשוט בארץ, ומתכוונת להישאר כאן כרגע, אין בכלל לדיון. או לצבא או לקלבוש. אם היא חושבת על לעזוב את הארץ בשביל לא להתגייס, אז אני עומד מאחורי ההודעה שלי מקודם.

To litaxx- are you planing on going back to the states?

לגבי החוק אני יודע, זאת גם הסוגיה עם אחי הצעיר והייתה יכולה להיות הסוגיה לגבי.

תגובה למתלהמים למיניהם
בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי Liatxx שמתחילה ב "Army Trouble T_T"

אתם שוכחים שאחרי הכל מדובר בבת. עם כל הרצון הטוב כמות התפקידים המאתגרים שפתוחים לבנות, יחסית לבנים, מועטה. אין הרבה בנות שמגיעות לתפקידים קרביים (קרקל, מוד"ש, מג"ב, טיס וכו). אם היא לא רוצה לשרת, שלא תשרת. הצבא יוכל להסתדר מצויין גם בלעדיה.
הופ אני כבר רואה את האנשים שיקפצו על ההודעה הזאת ויגידו ש"בגישה כזאת בלה בלה אין צבא בלה בלה...". אז זה הקאטצ': השירות שסביר להניח שהיא תבצע איננו נחוץ כמו שירות קרבי או לחלופין תפקיד תומכ"ל/עורפי משמעותי של בן או בת (ולכל הפמיניסטיות: אני מניח את ההנחה הזאת על סמך הודעותיה שהיא לא רוצה לשרת וכו). מה גם, שבתור בת, אין לה ממש בעיה להוציא פטור משירות צבאי.


נ.ב: תכלס, כבר נמאס לשמוע על כל אלה שלא ממש רוצים לשרת, אבל הצבא "מכריח" אותם ואוי כמה שהם מסכנים שכל תוכניות החיים שלהם נדפקו. אז כן, הצבא דופק תוכניות של החיים והוא לא המערכת הכי נעימה להיות בה (ביחוד עם כל הבזיון שהולך היום - את דעתי האישית לא אחווה בהודעה זו). אנשים כאלו, עדיף שלא ישרתו והצבא ישתמש בכסף שהוא היה עלול להוציא עליהם לצ'פר משכורות של אנשים שמגיע להם - לוחמים שטוחנים ת'צורה בפלוגות מבצעיות (במיוחד במחזורים ראשון ושני - שהשירות שלהם במשך 8 חודשים איננו שונה מעבודה של פועל זר); לתומכ"לים שעושים יום ולילה כדי לתת מענה לבעיות של הדרג הלוחם (ואני ראיתי נגדים שטחנו את עצמם כדי לתקן עוד משהו בטנק ולמצוא לעוד חייל סרבל נוח) וגם לחיילים העורפיים שגם אם הם טוחנים בתנאים קצת יותר קלים - הם עדיין טוחנים.

ולכל אותם מטיפי מוסר: עזבו אתכם, אתם מתאמצים לשווא. אם הבנאדם לא ישנה את דעתו בקשר לשירות צבאי, מקסימום מ.צ יאמרו לו שלום בהזדמנות. מה גם, שהוא יצטרך לחיות עם העובדה שיש אנשים ששווים יותר ממנו בארץ (למעט כמובן, אנשים עם פטור מוצדק).

And to Liat: at first i'd thuaght maybe i'd reply to you. give you a nice and sensible answer. but then, i read you had dreams and i said to myself: i had dreams before i have joined the idf, only i had to put them "on hold". and if i could put them on hold, as many of the men and women before me - and some will never get to fulfill theirs - there is no reason why you shouldn't - so i didn't bothered.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!
בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי Liatxx שמתחילה ב "Army Trouble T_T"

I read almost all the comments here and theres a couple of stuff i want to add.

Let me tell you something
First of all you need to decide if you want to live here. if you do, i hope what i write here can help you make the right choice. if you want to go live in USA - theres no need for you to serve, you can just fly back there - and theres no point to this discussion at all.

Service in the army is what you make of it.
It all depends in your attitude. If you decide to serve do so enthusiastically, try doing all the tests and qualify for the best job\position that you can.
You can do a lot of amazing stuff in the army - you can serve in intelligence (your english is a big plus) - knowing and workign about truly amazing things, you can earn a proffession - maybe in computers?, you can instruct male combatants in the use of artillery (yeah, some girls do that here), you can be the connection between the planes in the air and the squadron on the ground, you can do many different things.

People in this forum say your selfish. Which is wierd because one of the most important thing in the army (besides serving your country and protecting the citizens) is the thing you didnt seem to think about - it's what you earn.
I promise you that when you finish those 2 years in the army (especially if you do something important) youll have what no american college girl will ever have in her life. Your character will be built in those two years in a way you cant even begin to imagine. Youll be stronger, youll be more mature, youll have a bigger understanding of everything around you, youll adapt quicker, you will be independent, for the first time in your life (so it seems) you will feel like you belong - and trust me - if you serve you WILL belong and have many friends to show for it. And most important - on the day of your release from service and all the years of your life that follows it you will have a feeling of honor, of un-selfish contribution, of self satisfaction that you did what you had to do.
Being "free" after this and going to the university, to work, to wherever you wish to go - all of this will be much sweeter.
Most of the grownups i know look back and say that their time in the army was the best time in their life. Maybe its not so bad like you think.
And again, i promise you, when those two years are done - no college girl can even compare.

Thats about it.
Think.

Update
בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי Liatxx שמתחילה ב "Army Trouble T_T"

Hey everyone, thanks for your effort and your input.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I know I am Jewish but I don't see my self as just that, and I wouldn't stay here and defend a country out of fear that one day I might be in danger because I am Jewish. A lot of you told me to consider that situation. Also, I just don't believe in the whole army system. I don't believe in defending a country. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don't belong to one, I'm not sure. I value people..I see every person as an idividual and I don't like to think of people as groups. No, I am not a communist because I also believe in freedom.

I just wanted to let you all know that I think I may have found a solution to my problem. There is no way that I could choose at age 16 or 17 whether I want to live in Israel. Even 5 years from now I don't believe I will know where I would like to live. I am not going to join the army, but what I would like to do is to volunteer. I'd like to help people. I think that 1 year of volunteering is a fair compromise considering my situation, and it's something I've always wanted to do anyway.

I think many of you were too quick to judge me, you don't really know me and I'm not as immature as you may think. The decisions I make are not because I'm selfish or scared, I have my beliefs. Maybe I didn't make my points clear enough in the beginning.

This sunday I am going to speak with the Lishka [about a month before I'm supposed to meet them] and I will ask them what my options are. If I could volunteer somewhere that would actually be meaningful to me as well, not just in some office and come back home at 2:00 everyday, I think that could be amazing. I'd like to put everything I have to offer into this experience. If I'm already doing it then I might as well do it right.
:]

I do hope that you will be kicked out of this country.
Let me just quote you:
I wouldn't stay here and defend a country
I don't believe in defending a country
I am not going to join the army
I think that 1 year of volunteering is a fair compromise

Did you notice something that repeats it's self? Yes it's I, I , I (34 times!) you are a selfish little girl.
There is no such thing as I would like in a country that has to fight for her right to exist! There is no such thing as "a fair compromise" this is not switzerland- which by the way also got an army that you have to join and serve !

If you will not join the army you will go to jail, or you can just leave Israel and never return, because if you will, you will be sent to jail.
You want the best of both worlds. Or if you want, you want to eat the cake and have an untouched cake in the same time.
You live in a country where jews can live freely, with no nazis and no red necks, but you do not want to defend this country.

You are shame to the jewish people and the jewish nation.

It's not better because she can't not serve. It's serve or jail time. She is looking for an easy way out from her duty as a citizen of this state.
And this thing exist for people with real reasons. saying I don't feel like I belong anywhere isn't one of them, or saying I don't beleive in defending a country isn't. Having money problems is, a mental problem is also. Being a selfish little girl isn't one of the reasons this option is available.

She doesn't care at all about the people her, their safety or their country, all she want's is living here, enjoying the fruits of others without giving back. None of us chose to be born here or to live here, but we all share the same faith if we won't serve in the army. The fact that she is living here for the last 3 years and will live here for the next 2-3 years is more the enough.

Serve or leave is pretty much all what I can say to you. Want to go to colleage right after high school? go to atuda - the army will even pay you for your studies.
Want to enjoy the freedom in this country without giving back anything ? (and one year is anything agianst atleast two years at the army, at let's say an amazing unit in the inteleganc.).
As I said, you are looking to have the best of both worlds...

זה לרוב כי לפי הנתונים הסטטיסטים שפורסמו בעבר אחוז גבוהה מאוד מהמתגייסים משתמט מהצבא ללא סיבה ורובו גם כן גר בגוש דן - תל אביב, מה שאומר שסטטיסטית יש יותר שקרנים מדוברים אמת, כיוון שנאמר שרובם פשוט מוציאים פרופיל 21 נפשי וגומרים סיפור גם אם הם לא באמת חולי נפש. בגלל הסיבה הזו בדיוק עכשיו מי שמתשחרר על 21 כתוב לו לכל החיים שהוא השתחרר על התנהגות רעה או קשיי הסתגלות והוא לרוב מקבל מקלחת קרה ממעסיקים.
זוהי הסיבה שבגללה אמרתי שרובם משקרים כדי לצאת מהצבא.
היא בעצמה כותבת מדוע היא לא מעוניינת לשרת, אני אצטט לך:
אני חלמתי על ללכת לאוניברסיטה מיד אחרי התיכון ולא לבזבז זמן בצבא.
אני לא מאמינה בצבא.
אני לא מאמינה בלהגן על הארץ הזו.
אני חושבת שמגיע לי לעשות רק תרומה של שנה וזה הגיוני לחלוטין.

בימנו זה נקרא אגוצנטריות, או אם תרצה, פינוק.

אני בהחלט לא תומך בעדר כמובן, אבל אני כן תומך באנשים ששומרים על החלומות שלהם על HOLD ואת החוצפה שלהם והפינוק שלהם בבית וחיים במסגרת הצבאית את השנתיים שלוש. אל תשכח, היא לא הולכת לקרבי, היא בחורה. יהיה לה שבוע-שבועיים טירונות חפיפניקית ואז אולי קממבר במודיעין על האנגלית ושירות מהנה, שום עדר כבשים ושום כלום, רק ללבוש מדים ולא לקלל אף מפקד.

א. אין לי מושג מה כתבת שם עם "הנתונים הסטטיסטיים" שלך.
ב. נכון, יכול להיות שהמניע שלו הוא אגוצנטריות נטו. מצד שני גם יכול להיות שמה שהיא כתבה זאת האמת, תן לה להנות מן הספק ותנסה להבין מה היא אומרת. אם בגיל 14 הייתי עובר לגור במדינה חדשה והיו מבקשים לגייס אותי לא בטוח שהייתי מסכים. אף אחד לא מחוייב מבחינה חוקית להרגיש זיקה למדינת ישראל, ולדעתי אנשים כמוהה גם לא מחוייבים לכך מוסרית. עצם ההתגוררות שלה בישראל לא עושה אותה לישראלית ואם היא לא רואה עצמה כישראלית רצוי שיבחנו דרכים לבוא לקראת בכל הקשור לשירות. היא לא בחרה להנות מאזרחות ישראלית ומחיים בישראל (אולי היא בכלל הייתה מעדיפה להישאר בארה"ב), הבחירה הזאת נעשתה בשבילה-אתה לא יכול להשתמש בזה כטיעון. לרגש יהודי גם אין תפקיד כאן, אף אחד לא מחוייב להרגיש זיקה ליהדות, זה לא תנאי קבלה למדינה או לחברה הישראלית.
בשורה התחתונה אם המציאות היא כפי שהיא מתארת אותה (ואין לך סיבה לערער על כך) מדובר כאן בבנאדם שלא רצה להיות כאן ושעכשיו מחוייב לשרת מדינה שהוא לא מרגיש זיקה אליה. בוא נגיד תודה שהיא בכלל רוצה להתנדב ולתת מעצמה למדינה בדרך כלשהי כי אנשים כמוהה (מבחינת גיזה לשירות), גם אם בכלל ישרתו בצבא, לא יתרמו במסגרתו הרבה. וכי התרומה בהתנדבות היא לא בהכרח זניחה כמו שאתה או אחרים חושבים.

אם היא לא רוצה להיות כאן היא יכולה בגיל 18 לקנות כרטיס טיסה חד כיווני ולגמור סיפור.
כל עוד והמטרה שלה להשאר לגור כאן לאחר גיל 18 היא חייבת לשרת בצה"ל. היא לא מתחמקת רק מהשנתיים סדיר אלא גם מהמילואים, אלא תשכח את זה.
לא רוצה לגור כאן, אף אחד לא מכריח אותה בגיל 18, תזכור את זה. אפילו בלי גרוש על התחת אפשר לקבל מלגה וללמוד בחינם בארה"ב.

איזה ספק? היא מעולם לא כתבה שהיא לא חושבת שהיא מתאימה למסגרת, כל מה שהיא אמרה זה שהיא לא מאמינה בלהגן על המדינה שלו, לשרת בצבא ושכל מה שהיא רוצה זה להגשים את החלומות שלה.
אנשים שהגיעו בגיל 14 לא צריכים לשרת אתה אומר?
מה תגיד לכל האתיופים שהגיעו לארץ? לחלק גדול מהרוסים? לאנשים שהגיעו בני 22 ועשו צבא? בחייך...

מסכים איתך, אם היא תרצה בגיל 18 היא יכולה לעזוב את הארץ. עד אז היא לא בת 18...

תגיד, אי התאמה למסגרת צבאית איך הייתה מגדיר? אני הייתי יכול להגדיר את זה בין היתר בעזרת חוסר רצון לשרת בצבא, להגן על המדינה ורצון לפעול למען הגשמת החלומות שלה ולא למען שירות המדינה. הדברים פשוט לא סותרים אחד את השני.

לא אמרתי שאנשים שעלו אחרי גיל מסויים לא צריכים לשרת. אמרתי שצריך להבין אותם ולבוא לקראתם. כל אדם והסיפור שלו, יש אנשים שעלו לכאן ממקומות די דפוקים עם רצון להיות חלק מהישראליות ועם רגש ציוני. ויש כאלה שלא. אי אפשר לקבוע כלל אחד על כולם. יש אתיופים ורוסים שמרגישים ישראלים ויש כאלה שלא.

You are taking the fact that I'm not sure if this is the country I want to live in too hard. I said I'm NOT SURE if I want to live here. I never said I don't. There is no reason for me to purchase a plain ticket and leave because it isn't clear to me where I want to live! There is also no reason for me to have to decide where my future will be at age 16. If you knew where you would live for the rest of your life at age 16 I applaud you, and I think that is wonderful. You just don't seem to understand that I have a choice where I want to live. It isn't like I grew up in one place and know that I will live here forever. Even people who grow up in one place can end up on the other side of the globe. My point is, that not everything is so simple. Not everything is black and white. You look at the rules as if they are holy, but people have feelings! Every situation is different because every person is different. There are colors in this world and I hope you will eventually come to see them. I'm sorry if it offends you that it isn't a given fact that I want to live here. You see it as a privilege and I can see how it would offend you when someone else is debating whether or not it is right for them. It's a shame though because that happens to be the situation here. I think you need a bit more respect for other people's opinions and perspectives.

I am not offended...
I can understand you because as I said, I came to Israel from Switzerland at the age of 7 -AKA I didn't grew up here either.
I understand that you are not sure and with that fact I don't have any problem. My problem is if you decide to live here at the age of 18 (when you will have to join the army) and you won't join or try not to, but choose to stay here, in Israel then I have a problem, because you wrote that you want to volunteer and stay here, that's what I care about. If you do that you are trying to get the best of both worlds while screwing up everybody else in this country for your own sake.
If you choose to live here - Draft!
If you choose to leave - Leave!
But don't choose to stay and try to escape the army, because as I said, there is a law, there are rights and there are obligations. As a citizen of this state you must serve in the army just like anyone else will. If you were a boy I would say, well, he doesn't want to die, but you don't risk your life, or loose 3 years, you "loose" two years and don't risk your life. You will meet people, make friends and have fun.

So as I said:
If you choose to live here - Draft!
If you choose to leave - Leave!

That sums up what I have to say.

If I choose to "stay" it will only be for one year and not to have the time of my life, but to volunteer. All I'm trying to do is to give back to the country I happened to live in for a few years and then I'm off to college. Why should I have to choose between Israel and America? Why is it stay and serve or leave and never come back? I am, after all, a citizen of both countries. This

situation is different than most, which is why it needs a different solution. It seems to you that it isn't fair that I should have the best of both worlds, but think about it. If I have both worlds [which I do] why shouldn't I try to get the best out of them? What is wrong with that? It's just like trying to get the best out of your life. I didn't choose to be a citizen of both countries, it's just how it is. Now I'm trying to make the best of it.

I can now tell you things clearly because I talked to the Lishka today and I know what I'm talking about. Even they said they've never come across a situation such as mine. While I was there it also became crystal clear to me that only over my dead body will I join the army. The thing that is supposed to be unique and incredible about the Israeli army is the warmth and the fact that they care about their country. Now, a country is not only land, it is also the people in it. I can tell you that they could care less about me and they have no respect. If it's not important to them then why won't they just let me go? I'll tell you what this country is doing. When it's convenient for them they take me and force me to do things because I'm a citizen of Israel, and when something is inconvenient they throw me over to America before I even get a chance to think. I'm not a ping pong ball, and I don't appreciate the disrespect I am receiving. If you thought I didn't want to join the army before, you should see me now!

Basically what they want is for me now to choose. Either go against your beliefs and follow our orders like a good little sheep, or never see your family again!

It appears that my real options are to either leave and never come back, or the other which I will probably go for.
If I tell them how I feel they will think I'm crazy. They see everyone who has a different opinion and demands their freedom as crazy. It doesn't matter if I want to give of myself to their country, no. It doesn't matter if I'm trying my best to find a solution. I never said they have to agree with me, all I demand is that they respect my opinion and don't force me to do things which I don't want to do!

i believe i see it eye to eye with you.


since you've never chosen to live in Isreal, never felt any relation to the state of isreal or any kind of patriotic duty to it, I don't see a reason for you to serve a full sentence in the IDF penitentionary facility aka. the ARMY (just kidding). But jokes aside, i really think you should go on with your life and not force your self into it just because everybody around you chooses to do so.

on the other hand you've lived here for what? 4-5 years?
I think that this country has taken care of you quite well and you should return a favour.
But thats just the corny-me speaking...



have a nice day...



PS

Ever thought about the ATUDA?

It enables you to study almost whatever you choose to almost free of charge (the army pays most of your tuition) and then you serve six years as officer doing what you've learned so it's like being employed by the IDF basically.

you can also go to the Intelligence corpse. Your English is a huge plus - trust me.

u really don't understand why your even trying to explain what you feel to israeli KIDS in a army online forum!
are you nuts'? obviously no one here is going to understand where your coming from.
bottom line is you need to do what feels righ for you.
look you bottom line is that you ARE a brat kinda, so what?
as long as you know are aware of the fact that your decision comes from a selficous place, it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks.
im guesiing that you come from a reasonably rich anglosaxon family--- which meens that you dont really need the army for the rest of your life and if you cant be assed to do it than ...dont
and dont let any one put you down about your decision.
from my own personal expierence most people dont enjoy the army at all and quite a big chunk leave!
take in mind that you are still a kid and your views might change with in the next year or so.
wait a bit and sleep on your feelings for the next year, for girls its never too late to decide that there not going to serve,
dont get to excited from most of the comments on your page, judging there views and the way the talked to you and about the army 50 percent of them are YOUR age/
have a good one and enjoy the states...

חוץ מכל הכותבים באשכול הזה שמחזיקים אזרחות זרה ולמרות בחרו לשרת בצבא, כולל אותי?

Advice
בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי Liatxx שמתחילה ב "Army Trouble T_T"

Hi.

Like you, I'm an Israeli with American citizenship. Unlike you, I’m a male who came here to serve in a combat unit. I'm going to ignore the incredible narcissism and selfishness that your posts demonstrate and get to the crux of the matter.

Since I have more than a bit of experience serving in the IDF I’d like to offer you my advice:

Do not join the army.

Here's what happens to people in the IDF who a) do not serve in combat units b) are drafted against their will and c) are not interested in a career in the military or other branches of the security services: they become jobniks who wander around bases in the center of the country doing absolutely nothing, helping absolutely no one, feeling depressed, worthless and stupid.


Since you obviously cannot contribute anything to the security of the country through service in the IDF you should not see it as a moral obligation to serve. For a person in your position it is very easy to get out of serving in the army. Ask around about ways to do this, but not here on this forum. Here’s what I’d do in your place: when you come to the lishka tell them exactly what you wrote in this forum and say to everyone you meet there that you do not want to serve. Chances are that they will leave you alone.


The biggest mistake you can make is to enlist and depend on the army to find a suitable position for you. Nobody will consider your special circumstances or your wishes – you’re not the type of person who the army cares about or tries to accommodate. And keep in mind that getting out of the army once you’re already enlisted is much, much
harder than getting out of the army before you are enlisted.


Good luck.

What you say is very misguiding.


If she changes her attitude and try to reach the best position/job she can, she WILL contribute, she WILL NOT feel worthless.
What you said about how if you try to get out and let the army take care of you it gets you screwed up was 50% correct. I know of a lot of cases that turned out the opposite.
But shes in the age when she can ask for A LOT of tryouts and tests and try to get accepted to AMAZING places that you don't even realize exist.
Youre very narrow minded. Not everyone that serves in a non-combat unit is worthless. She can get accpeted to intelligence and do incredibly interesting things and actually feel how she's helping the country and the citizens- Her english will help getting there, no doubt. She can be Mashakit Tash, Madrihat Hir, or Pakmatzit. YOU WANT TO TELL ME ALL THESE JOBS ARE WORTHLESS? if you think they are, your'e worthless.


That's just an example.. theres a large variety of things to do. If she changes her way of thinking and start getting a bit motivation she can find herself having an awsome time. Sure, everyone complains about the army while being there, its inevitable -you want your freedom back. But im 100% sure that most of them (men AND women), when they think back about it a few years later when theyr'e more mature and able to comprehend what theyve earned from serving, they wouldnt have it any other way. They'd do it all over again. And you know what? it's just 2 years of her life. It's really not that much.

long time
בתגובה להודעה מספר 107 שנכתבה על ידי Zeph שמתחילה ב "..."

Hi.
It's been a long time since I posted here and I've gone through a lot.
This thread is going to be locked but I just felt I should update people and summarize things because I see a lot of replies that I never even knew I got.
The whole experience got me to realize many things and I've even learned things about myself. The reason that I asked for help here was because my friend introduced it to me and he thought it was a good idea which I can now find no logic in. At first I just felt like I can't join the army. I wasn't even sure why, but I just knew it. I figured out that I have nothing against the Israeli army at all. It is military in general which I have a problem with. I will certainly not get into it because I never came here to start fighting with anyone and it makes no sense to discuss pacifism with a forum full of people who wish to join the military. ;P
I am going to sort things out though. I'm doing research and I will speak to the pychiatrist in the army because they called me for it and I shall right a letter regarding my inability to be part of a military system. My hope is that I will be able to volunteer somewhere in a school with troubled teens. Actually, I would love to volunteer anywhere. I do wish to give back :]
I appreciate anyone who took interest and especially those capable of understanding my situation and that it's not the end of the world for a teenager to not completely understand herself. In fact, it is quite natural.

Thanks everyone.

Liat xx
