This is Captain Yuval, an infantry commander in the Nahal Brigade. On Saturday morning, as soon as she heard about the horrors taking place, she ran out of her home with her gun in her pajamas.
She reports there were dead bodies all over the road, and that at some point, a group of terrorists on motorcycles drive towards her, and she empties a whole magazine on them killing two. She's calling her boss Colonel Steinberg, but he's been killed. Same with other commanders she tries reaching - all gone.
She located Captain Ron, and together they understand that only they are left to conduct this battle. They find a friend's house nearby, open up a war room, and begin directing the forces on the ground. Before most of us even woke up and understood what is happening, these two young captains were directing commandos and fighter pilots, and eliminated 22 terrorists, preventing them from taking control of two outposts. In their pajamas.
They are still out there fighting. We are in good hands!

@UtProsim540@DEERSnBEERS@BurgundySoldier …like he doesn’t even know me…you want it on a bomb, a missile, a Japanese temple, shisa’s, a torii, beaches of Okinawa, Australia, New Zealand, Mt Fuji?
On March 23, 1966, in an accident that is now known as the Palomares incident, a B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs collided with a refueling tanker in Spain, and one of its nuclear weapons dropped into the sea.
As a U.S. Navy salvage team worked to recover the bomb, the towing line broke, sending a heavy steel pipe shooting toward the team — and in an incredible act of heroism, diver Carl Brashear threw himself in front of his men, taking the pipe in the leg.
Brashear not only survived, but he overcame extraordinary obstacles to get himself recertified as a master diver even though his leg had been removed, making him the first amputee diver in Navy history. Brashear was motivated by his beliefs that "It's not a sin to get knocked down; it's a sin to stay down" and "I ain't going to let nobody steal my dream."
For his service in helping to retrieve the bomb, Brashear was later awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, the highest navy award for non-combat heroism.
Take a lot of photos in your life. It may seem silly at the time, but someday you will look back on them and relive some of your best memories. What photo takes you back?
