    Two things. This is what you get for doing an apartheid for over 80 years and following it up with a genocide. No pity from me. Secondly those are some high numbers suggesting things aren't going that well for them

      Indeed, these are shockingly high given that their entire army is something like 170k officially. If this is the rate loss for the past 8 months, they are absolutely fucked.

        Active soldiers yes, but they have something like 1.5 million reservists. I'd be shocked if most of this number wasn't conscripts.

        edit: 1.5 million men and women each according to NATOpedia. And jesus fuck, they have a section about minorities in the IOF, including vegans liberalism

          Back when I read r/vegan we got occasional vegan-washing posts about the IDF, but they got shot down pretty hard.

          I'm guessing the quality of the reserves is pretty poor, so casualties would go up dramatically once they start getting fed into the war in large numbers.

    This is why I always hate r/upliftingnews

    Is it great that 70,000 IDF soldiers are disabled? Absolutely. But why do they have access to care in the first place?

    It would be more meaningful if I wasn't pretty sure every IDF member was reporting to rehab after hearing a gun go off to take themselves out of a combat zone.
