Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

I object!
This is ridiculous!
Why is it only "ladies of the IDF"? How come you're not posting about hot guys in the IDF, too?
This isn't fair.
I smell a money-making opportunity.
*sigh* They could all be my granddaughters...
where did the time go?
Kosher!
:-D
BHG
*chuckle* Times have changed! The IDF women I served with weren't permitted to pose for Maxim. (Not that their images would have looked out of place there, ahem...)
If anyone's wondering about the Hebrew wording in the first picture (Nivit), it says "[no] entry at the gate". Draw your own conclusions.

Women of the IDF seem to be a popular topic. Rachel Papo has an interesting photo-essay, based on her own IDF service; a Google search will find you plenty more.
But it's not all cheesecake. Your Google search might also turn up this link, with this glamor pic of IDF sergeant Ma'ayan Na'im. Just above it is another picture of her, right after the July 11, 2004 bus-stop bombing that caught her, as rescue workers struggle frantically to save her life. (They were ultimately unsuccessful.)
Talk all you want about hot Israeli soldiers, folks. But don't forget that they're there for a purpose -- to protect their homeland with their lives. All too often that's exactly the price they must pay, men and women both.

Sol, bump these two photps to the top with the Maxim link.
What a lovely young woman. What vile decisions Palestinians make.
Done.
