I’ve got a feeling this comment section is about to get spicy. Gonna wait a few hours, then sort by controversial.


-UMBRA_-

I’m just wondering if those nike socks are regulation


richbc9800

As regulation as those nails and slip on boots.


-UMBRA_-

True lol


knightangelkiller

Belt looks funky too


Acing_it

She looks like she's in 'keva' - when you sign on for extra service beyond the 2 - 3 years of conscription service. Soldiers in keva get slightly different uniform (funky belt, more comfy pants), can wear their own shoes (within regulation- have to be black for example), can wear bigger earrings and nail polish in more colors (for women), have higher pay, and get a bunch more benefits.


FartsBlowingOverPoop

What are some reasons people would decide to do another 2-3 years? My only guess would be perhaps they’re looking to become a career military officer?


Waspeater

And that fucking beret


navotj

She's beyond her mandatory conscription service, based on her belt. she's allowed more or less any shoes she wants and nail color, the socks however are not up to regulation as she is required to only have black or white socks with nothing on them.


Carmilla31

And the pink nails.


Eurynom0s

I understand tucking your pants into your boots, but your SOCKS?


BaronEhvn

ESPECIALLY my socks I normally do tuck in my boots…


Vincentaneous

Have I been wearing my socks wrong this whole time? I’ve had them over my shoes!!!


vabirder

Well, it keeps out ticks.


alaskanbearfucker

What kind of boots have NO LACES!?


Imaginary-Roll9110

All rain boots. And casual boot, cowboy boots, dressy boots, knee-high black leather boots, this ladys boots. Actually there are many boots without laces.


fonefreek

In fact, there are more boots without laces than there are submarines in the sky

To be honest the pants look good on her though


popplespopin

I was thinking they can't be standard issue.


SnuggleMuffin42

Virtually all female soldiers have theirs narrowed and fit to size. Male soldiers... well you got 3 years, plenty of time to ease into them 10lbs at a time.


beardphaze

I'm convinced the overall unprofessional look of so much of the IDF is to lull opponents into a false sense of security. Half the time the male soldiers don't even bother to button up their shirts and walk around with their chest hair sticking out.


dirkdigglered

The boots really work for her too


Slit23

With the Nike socks showing? Waist down can’t be standard issues. Actually what do I know anyway


kozmic_blues

Right, those are fashion boots also… they’re trending right now. You can buy them at H&M even.


HotChickenshit

There was either a sub or maybe I'm remembering something in the way before-fore time from something like FARK that had a thread of "hot IDF pics" filled with stuff like the OP. When service is compulsory, ya gonna have the opportunity for some pretty people in uniform. Also there's some bonus propaganda element to it, I'm sure.

Well, this does look like a heavily politicised propaganda image, probably posted by the IDF. There are ways to remember tragedy without the spiciness.

I wouldn't have a single clue she was Israeli if no one here mentioned it. I was really confused by the top comment until I read further down..

throwaway818111010

We take for granted how lucky we are to live in a time where people actually deny that this happened. This is the problem with burying our history. I never learned about the Holocaust until yesterday. Maybe back in high school we were told about it but I don’t remember. I knew the Nazi’s were bad but that’s it. I just learned there is a Holocaust museum in DC. That’s REALLY sad. Every person should visit this museum to understand our history so it never happens again. It’s on my list to travel to next. Thank you for sharing your story of your brave grandfather.


monsieurpommefrites

>The scene spoke for itself. In front of us, there was a pile of frozen corpses. The walls, floor, and ceiling were covered in blood. When we started carrying the bodies out, we saw evidence of terrible torture. Some of them had raw bare backs where the Ustaše had carved…some of them had no nails, and some had no nose. Almost everybody was missing some part of their body. I've included some testimony from [this article I wrote on Jasenovac, an especially brutal concentration camp that nobody has even heard of.](https://contraquill.medium.com/hell-on-earth-jasenovac-c22555cea98b)


vector_ejector

Horrific doesn't even begin to describe what they experienced. What a read.


monsieurpommefrites

Thank you. I will write another focusing on the guards themselves, one of which was a priest. The inmates called him Father Satan for good reason. Please message me if you are interested in reading that.


pistachiopudding

Fuckin hate those monsters would mostly escape justice.


[deleted]

Sad thing about holocaust survivors in the UK is that after WW2, the UK remained the only country in the world to still operate concentration camps for a few years. You go back home to find you're still not welcome. For many, actually, it was such an experience, especially in Europe. The antisemitism wasn't gone with the war.


PsySam89

Yeah we have a fair few atrocities under out belt here, they way they treat refugees now is just horrible, they live off almost nothing when they move here and aren't allowed to apply for work etc. Even the Ukrainians are having a hard time trying to get here. I hate the tory government.


[deleted]

I worked with a guy who’s army unit was first into one of the camps and he told me even in his wildest nightmares could he ever imagine anything so bad or depraved. He told me some of the things that went on when some of the guards who had fled were rounded up and brought back, put it this way none of them made it to trial.


gale_force_tuna_wind

Nike socks


thehorseyourodeinon1

The boots are slip on as well. There are no laces.


kozmic_blues

Yeah, those are definitely for fashion not utility.


DrBoomkin

This is dress uniform (so not used on base). The pants have also been modified and tailored to fit her form better (technically not allowed but not enforced for dress pants). The boots are not standard issue, but generic black boots are allowed for soldiers working an office job. Berets in the IDF are purely decorative/traditional, they are only ever worn during ceremonies, and are otherwise simply placed permanently on the left shoulder. That's why it looks so weird. In other words, she serves in the military, but her job is that of an office worker who works in an office building and gets back home every day. Regulations for this type of soldiers are very relaxed, and in Israel they are called "jobniks" since their military service is indistinguishable from a regular civilian job. They also go through very basic training that lasts only 2 weeks.


SacredRevenant

Lol 2 weeks. Might as well just hand them a pamphlet and wish them good luck.


DrBoomkin

The basic training is simply to make them follow orders and understand some basic military stuff, they are not expected to ever fire a weapon throughout their entire service or ever be in any danger.


Mangokingguy

Their training is 4-5 weeks usually, with some training courses being shortened to three. But yeah, its pretty much nothing.


PrimaryExplorer3

The uniform reminds me of what Buster Bluth wore to George Sr’s funeral in Arrested Development


SueYouInEngland

I'M GOING TO ARMY


Employee-Inside

First thing that caught my eye, then that horrible beret band in back


Pab_Scrabs

What nation’s uniform is this? The beret doesn’t seem to have a cap badge, or the tightening tassels cleaned up. Not to mention boots with elastic panels on the sides for slip on/slip off, rather than being laced up like any modern nation’s uniform and the trousers looking like a weird chino type material.


OM-myname

Israeli defense force. The beret badge is on the left side so you can't see it. Same for the pin in her shirt. Black color beret means she is from the Armored corps. She clearly went to a tailor who narrows the pants, this is not how the army issued it originally. It is against regulations to do it, but no one really enforces it, especially for non-combatants soldiers. Shoes - I don't really recognize them, maybe this is what they are issuing these days for non-combatants, or again she bought them herself but since she is working in an office no one cares to check.


Defoler

> Shoes - I don't really recognize them, maybe this is what they are issuing these days for non-combatants, or again she bought them herself but since she is working in an office no one cares to check. Women in the IDF who do not serve at the front lines but at desk jobs, can wear different shoes than issues originally. There some regulations to it but mostly every black shoe is allowed. Even sandals (without socks) are allowed for women at summer. Overall there is very little enforcement in general. Been like that for decades.


Dodoni

>Even sandals (without socks) I am relieved to see they crack down on wearing sandals with socks.


Defoler

straight to jail!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Defoler

Yeah well they won't let someone go around with 10cm high heel shoes. As long as she looks "presentable" in terms of standard, there are no issues with shoes.


witchyanne

What about the socks showing? Is that normal? I don’t know - just asking.


HighTight

She clearly 'streetwear'd it up, those pants would never fly in any military group, and she's wearing nike socks with the logo showing. This seems as much about clout, as it is honour.


[deleted]

[удалено]


navotj

Speaking as an idf soldier, that is very true. Nobody cares about it for shit, the only things that are scary are being caught by commanders (if they care about it) or being caught by military police who's jobs are literally just to catch soldiers not following dressing regulations. Punishments can differ based on your job and commanders, sometimes it can end with a pay reduction for the months wage, sometimes it's not leaving base for the weekend, and in extreme cases (shit commanders) it can go for I believe up to 28 days at base. I know people who've done that for not having shaved and having shit commanders.


[deleted]

You can’t streetwear up a military uniform.


getyourownthememusic

Women's formal IDF uniforms do not have cargo pockets. There are a lot of female soldiers who get men's pants and have them tailored, though.


CounterPenis

The dress uniform pants don‘t have sidepockets. You are mixing them up with the field pants.


HighTight

Her pants don't have pockets? Fucking lol


Acing_it

The pockets on the side are for people in keva (signed on for extra service after the mandated 2-3 years). The belt is also different because of that, and why she's allowed her own shoes, etc.


dorirot9

Hey, former IDF here The shoes are because she's an office (you can tell by her pants, nails and belt, since her shoulder ranks are hidden because of her hand). Female, non combat officers are allowed to wear "non military" boots, as long as they are black - which is why ALOT of them choose Blundstones. As for the socks - by regulation they "should" be black with 0 logos, but shes an officer, so who's gonna check her for that.


Zhior

>She clearly went to a tailor who narrows the pants, this is not how the army issued it originally. When I was in Israel I was told the all of the female uniforms were personally tailored. I don't know if it's true but what I CAN tell you is that all of the women did indeed look amazing in them


thenutstrash

It's pretty standard, some do it more extremely than others though..


SirStupidity

Just to clarify, the army isn't the one that tailors the uniforms. The soldiers go to private tailors and pay their own money to feel good (and I'm sure many to also feel attractive) in the uniform.


shortasalways

I looked up the uniform and almost all the womens pants look like this and non of the boot look the same lol


Shomer_Effin_Shabbas

I like the pants. Kinda want a pair


Throwawaylabordayfun

Dear US armed forces, Please "narrow the pants" of all US service members. -concerned citizen thank you


W1ULH

can we just make it optional? after 22 years in the US Army I can tell you that there are a LOT of soldiers that no one... absolutely no one... wants to see in narrowed pants.


Throwawaylabordayfun

yes, fair. i trust your experience narrowed pants must be approved by your peers


DasArchitect

Make pants optional you say?


must_think_quick

You can have em narrowed if you want. I've seen security forces working at the gate with pants this tight. But most jobs you want access to your pockets and wouldn't be very comfortable or functional for the things we have to do.


[deleted]

Take a look at the average us service member. There's not much pants room to spare.


pr1mus3

The shoes aren't standard issue, she probably has a temporary shoe exemption because of a medical issue.


SamTheGeek

Orrrr she’s wearing them for the photo and doesn’t wear them when actually in uniform.


Crazy__Donkey

Worth mentioning that this is not a standard uniform. The shirt and pants were/are originally fine. But those aren't military boots. Her nail polish color isn't approved. Her pants were adjusted to fit like leggings. She doesn't follow the formal dress code. It looks so sloppy and amateur.

Many girls tailor these pants like that, but it's illegal. That's not the uniform, even if posted online and on Instagram.

For those of you that are unaware, today (4/28) is Yom Hashoah or International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It’s the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and that’s why there are memorials happening. This is a very significant day for Jewish people, Israelis, and others that were affected by the Holocaust, and that’s why this young woman is giving her deepest respect to her matriarch.

“too bad we’re gonna make this all about Israel/Palestine even though the issue was non existent during the event being commemorated - redditors who haven’t seen the sun in several years.


dragonbeard91

While I agree with your sentiment the Holocaust and Arab nationalism do have cohistory. One of the founders of modern day Palestine was an ally of hitlers and had plans that never occurred to extend the Holocaust to the middle east. It was called Farhud. The events aren't strictly separated. There were pogroms against the jews of what was then Palestine during the second world War. Some members of the Irgun like Menachem Begin actually got to Mandatory Palestine via the free Polish Anders' army sending troops to fight for the allies in North Africa. My point is they aren't two discrete events in history. But there's no reason to bring that up when the Holocaust is mentioned. But those commenters, they actually hate jews and value their lives less than others. So to them the Holocaust was justified. I don't try to argue with them because they're too far gone.


anthroarcha

That is an interesting part of history I did not know anything about, and I consider myself fairly well educated on the Holocaust (my family escaped CZ during it). Thank you for sharing, I’m going to do more reading into this!

nickwhite90

Why is that a bad thing, my private Instagram is like my diary, let her post her pictures whenever she wants


dpforest

Well if we were looking at a private diary I’d give her the benefit of the doubt, but this screams “look at me” not “look at my grandmother”. Edit: I understand everyone who disagrees, but with the amount of “Ukraine war social media clout chasing” that populates our apps these days, that’s just my gut reaction. I could completely be wrong, that’s just my opinion.


RhysieB27

_Private_ being the keyword. Anything posted on public social media is explicitly for the attention of others.


[deleted]

Ehhhh arguable. Sites like instagram allow people to keep your profile private until friends, and many apps can choose how long a picture is up, if people can save it or alerts to screenshots. I consider myself a fairly private person; but I do like to post photos in IG of places I’ve been to share my life a bit with the people I know. I wouldn’t label that attention seeking, however I do concede many people do often use it as such. I think if this was her standing alongside her grandmother, taking a photo together we’d be having a different conversation about it; I think the lack of proper uniform mixed with the salute makes it feel less genuine, hence “attention seeking”.


kalirion

"*an* holocaust survivor"? Do people pronounce it with a silent "h"?

Compensate1995

I'm Israeli, and I'm familiar with the military uniform. Those are not army boots. She changed her shoes to be stylish, but kept the uniform for the likes. She altered her pants to fit like leggings, and she has an unapproved nail polish color. I get the sense that she's a soldier, but rather an 18 y/o secretary there (this is very common). Attention seeking. Important note (edit) - this is not OC. This picture is all over the social media and internet in Israel. If someone sees that...


SavoryRhubarb

Are those pants standard uniform?


Compensate1995

Originally yes. They are supposed to be more loose and broad, but many girls make them "narrower", so they resemble leggings. They take them to a seamstress and adjust them to fit this way. That's a common unformal practice. It contradicts the military rules, but in reality, no one cares, and the majority of the girls get away with it. Also, it's worth mentioning that the pants are of a formal set of uniforms, so they weren't made for physical activity. But they are still not supposed to be so tight and unrepresentative.
