"It's the end..."

It's over.

The only way I'm going back to the Army is by an emergency draft.
I've done my time, 30 days of that given, volunteered to Tzahal.

So, now my family is coming to visit, just in time for my service to be over.

Just so we are clear, I am not sure how long this cease-fire will actually last, if at all, but I just can't do this sort of thing anymore.

War isn't for me.

Is that to say that, should the shit hit the fan again and I call you, you'll leave me with the kiddies?

Seriously, I realize that in some ways you were the one of us at the station who suffered the most this past month, but i'd rather have you there for the next round as well.

There will be a next round. Hopefully not this summer, though.

Hopefully next round the idiots at the mador will be wise enough to call me up themselves and not have to resort to you bullying them and it is not funny when you have to do that, it is incredibly sad.
But if I am called again this year (that is before Jan. 07) it will only be with a tzav 8, there's a limit to how much I can give of myself, even for my dear friends, whom I love (that's you :)

War isn't for anybody sane.

*hugs*

i don't think war is for anyone, really. A lot of people do things that aren't good for them on a pretty regular basis, though.

I'm glad that you made it through the whole event (hopefully over and headed towards better resolution between your two countries, minus Hezbollah) safely if not completely soundly.

I know that you have been through a lot, and I have prayed for you every day, but no one your age should have to wittness and experience what you have had to endure.

May God watch over you as you return to your home and a more normal life.
