Like these last few days.
From Haaretz:
A Lebanese lieutenant colonel has gone missing, and military officials there as well as the officer’s family believe he fled to Israel after coming under suspicion of spying for Israeli intelligence.
Daher Jarjoui, a resident of the southern Lebanese village of Qlayaa, was the Lebanese Armed Forces’ liaison with a Spanish company in the UN peacekeeping force along the Israeli border.
Basically, he had the same job I do, in the Lebanese army instead of the IDF, talking to the same UN liaison officers that I talk to. (He’s a colonel. I’m a private. I’ll let the facts speak for themselves about the level of rank inflation over there.)
Would it be terribly undiplomatic to pump the UN liaison officers for information?
Probably.
Probably quite illegal as well, but that doesn’t matter much in our army.
And rank inflation is also a problem here, where a Rashatz is a Seren, but that’s probably only in my techno world.

Yeah, so is:
swearing
hugging
mixing meat & milk in the kitchen
talking in English with more than 2 soldiers present
etc.
It bothers me more that it would be unprofessional. Eh. Guess I’ll just have to live in ignorance.
What’s a rashatz?
