An American Jew in Israel
As an American Vietnam veteran, I was very moved by the portion
of the story that took place at Masada when Boaz spoke of
patriotism. His statement "they don't have to suffer the
consequences of that policy" struck home so vividly.
I have, since my own experiences, been very opposed to the use of
troops until all other means have been pursued. Even then, they should be used
only with real determination that the goals are worth the
potential sacrifice. Short of the protection of our own
existence, this criteria will never be met to my satisfaction.
This was an excellent piece in total but especially in that it
so clearly presented a picture of a man who served his country
with such sharp focus.
