IDF Chief Rabbi: Troops who show mercy to enemy will be 'damned' - Haaretz - Israel News

Perhaps context would explain this comment but part of me feels that such thinking is prima facia (sp) evidence of how the growing influence of orthodox settlers in the army is taking things in a dangerous direction. Once upon a time, the officer corps was made up of kibbutzniks, whose individuality and leadership traits were prized. Today, those slots are filled with Mitnahalim (settlers) who have an entirely different mindset and agenda.

Flame Away!
