Rifleman Creed

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.

Isreal High on Military

Israel is a country that is high on its military forces. The Israeli have a law that every man and woman that makes them have to enter the military and train after they have graduated from high school or college. Israel is very protective of its land because they are in a lot of danger. Every day there are bombings in the streets also the Palestine want their land back from the Israeli. The Israeli land grew because they got it from the countries around it such as Jordon, Syria, and Lebanon. Israel was created after the world war II and the holocaust. The purpose of Israel is to give the Jewish a home to be in thanks to America.
During the field trip of June 12, 2007 we meet with a colonel. Colonel Zacks helped us understand more of the Israel culture and laws. Colonel Zacks works for the Israeli embassy which is here in the U.S. but is part of the Israel territory. He told us that Israel is very small, so small that you can take a plain from left to right in three minutes and you can take the plain from up to down in about 90 minutes. Also in Israel their language and writings are in Hebrew and one of their most famous foods is a Falafel. So Israel is in a lot of danger because of terrorist and other countries wanting the land back. That’s why the Israelis go into the army after they graduate.
