Missing Seeing the Soldiers with Big Guns

Today my wife and I went shopping. Suddenly, she said to me. "Do you notice anything weird? There are no soldiers around."
It's funny how most visitors to Israel for the 1st time feel nervous when they see soldiers walking around (during their time off) with their huge guns over their sholders. But now I realize that time to worry is when none of them are around, because all of them have been called up to the front.
So next time you see a soldier in Israel, feel good about it, because it's the time of peace.
