Hello Dennis,
War is tough and the results of what we have to live with afterwards is even tougher. Governments that start the wars recover, but the soldiers, sailors and airmen never do. I lost a few mates as well in the two theatres I was in. Had some very lucky escapes myself. However, the sharing is what helps us. I am sure you were like me and kept it bottled up for years. These forums help because you can share with a degree of anonymity. If you ever feel the need to write, just drop me a personal message.

It's hard on the civilians as well. Especially when you get fired on from an enemy aircraft on the way to a shelter! This happened to me and my family in England during the 2nd World War.
 
Blame Hamas.
Are you saying Hamas are killing all those people? What a simplistic and one-sided response! Israel are committing a war crime.

When I was overseas, we had strict instructions not to fire if there was a risk of hurting civilians. Palestinians, Jews and Christians lived in peace for over 1000 years before 1948 and the creation of the Palestinian State.

Before you say the killing of all these women and children is in retaliation for taking hostages, both sides have been doing a tit-for-tat hostage taking, bombing and killing for over 70 years, and the average Palestinian does not support Hamas. Hamas will say the hostage taking was in retaliation for the forced resettlement of Palestinians off their land in the West Bank and Gaza. You need to read some history because no right thinking person can support either Hamas or Israel as both are bad as one another. I don't agree with Hamas, but you shouldn't be agreeing with the murder of innocent people.

Blame Hamas.
The Hagenah did some dreadful things.
 
Dennis R's Afternoon Joke. What's the healthiest insect? A vitamin Bee.
Dissolved, or integrated into the IDF. They were responsible for a lot of British soldiers being killed before their integration.
A lot of small Arab settlements were attacked, turned into farms and filled with Jews from Europe.
