That's Not A Uniform Approach, Soldier
I reckon no nudes is good news, but everyone ain't listenin'. An unusual public relations push by Israel's New York consulate is trying to sell the country by showcasing beautiful female ex-soldiers in `Maxim', the US men's magazine. The models were photographed wearing very little in the cause of their country. Headlined ``Women of the Israel Defence Forces,'' the photo shoot was launched during the week at a glitzy event in Manhattan. But Israeli lawmaker and former diplomat Colette Avital said the shoot doesn't help Israel's image. I agree with her. There's no need to flesh out the issue.
FOOTNOTE: They're sitting on defence.

Outstanding word play on this one! Unrelated note (since I don't have your e-mail addie). Concerning a possible Melbourne item for your blog, go to

then click on 'other news' and read about a ship in harbor at the moment which will attempt to sail out under a native American flag.
Hi Lin,
What a wonderful world. Will check it out immediately. Love the fact that I can get a Melbourne update from the other side of the world.
Good one, scout, and thanks for the heads-up!
Because I've spent most of the week at the hospital (my wife is home now and recovering) I haven't checked my email as regularly as I normally do.
But just drop your email address here as a comment and I'll reply so we are in touch. And if you want me to delete the comment with your email address, I'll do so.
Cheers and thank you once again
David
PS: Glad you liked the word play! Just a bit of harmless fun ...

Guess being "drop-dead" gorgeous, their rifles are redundant..?
Hi Carol,
Exactly. A bit like Arms and The Manx.
Cheers

It's always the beautiful FEmale soldiers, dang it. What's wrong with showcasing the beautiful MALE soldiers once in a while?
There's a myth out there about the IDF being full of women. Actually the US has many more women in it's military. Israel had many more early on, out of desperation for numbers when they were fighting for survival. They do have some segregated outfits, all female tank units, but they don't see much action. too much fear of what would happen to them if they were taken prisoner.
