first few facts about me

- American citizen
- non-jewish
- in outstanding phyisical shape
- i am 23 years of age

I was wondering how an American such as myself would be able to join the IDF.. I decided I wanted to do something a little different than the US military after all I can do that later. I also love Israel and its history. So can anyone help me?

I'm sorry to tell you this,but unforntuanly it is almost impossible.
But if you wanna try then contact the embassy in your country.Go there and explain it to them

Thank you for your support anyway.There are many other ways you can support Israel if you want to,pm me.

Damn, wasn't what I wanted to hear. I tried to get into the US military but it didn't work and thought the IDF would give me a shot.

After all Israel and America have pretty much the same enemies!

Yep,... one another.
They hate America, but won't say so, as long as they can take your money and military aid and then sell it to your enemies. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...a-1510406.html

You need to make up your mind whose side you are on.

Which begs the question, "the US is short of troops, why wouldn't they take you"? You obviously have problems and this "choice" of yours is perhaps a clue why.

America and Israel are pretty much on the same side. After all we are both fighting muslim terrorists who want us dead. Even if Israel ain't the most trust worthy US ally I will fight for them anyway.

Btw, the I don't know where you got your misinfomation but the US ain't short of troops.

No i seriously doubt that you will fight for them because the first thing they would do is ask the US why they rejected you. Secondly anyone who would willingly fight for a parasite state that double crosses his own country is not worth the time of day.

The only reason Muslims want you dead is because the US supports a rogue state who has no legitimate right in Palestine.

So then, why are guys leaving the forces because of the high turnover rates into the middle east, some units have done 4 or more rotations?

They aren't short of troops, in fact they're trying to cut some 200,000 from the Army alone. The only reason the units are doing rotations is because they are trying to slowly pull everyone out by 2014. Which is why a number of reserve and national guard units are being deployed to Afghanistan.

That's a pre GFC mentality there...

Out of curiosity would he be able to join if he were Jewish ?

How would they know the US turned me down unless I told them?

The only reason Muslims want you dead is because the US supports a rogue state who has no legitimate right in Palestine.

Well they also want us for

- having troops in Saudi Arabia
- not being muslim
- putting "un-islamic" goods into their nations such as TVs
- drinking beer
- allowing homosexuality
- having equal rights for women

Need I go on?

Let me get started by saying I WISH THIS WAS TRUE!!!

In case you haven't noticed the United States of America and the rest of the world are having terrible economic trouble at the moment. Now I wish the US needed troops badly so I could enlist but thats not the way it is.

It ain't so because you say its so.
