Our soldiers are so holy. Not one of them is tamei dam. They're just tamei for shilus for halachus, for godliness, for light, for emet. Reb was interviewed during one of the wars [music] and they asked him, "What's the difference between an Israeli soldier and an Arab soldier?" So, he said that when >> [music] >> an Arab soldier pulls the trigger, he's davening that his bullet hits the target. When a Yid has to pull a trigger, [music] he's davening that Mashiach comes and there's peace in the world by the time the bullet hits the target. So, if you believe that that's who we really are, then [music] there shouldn't be such a fear to make a mitzvah because I think what gets [music] us so nervous is what the world has told us that you're going to become like them. No one's happy to [music] do this stuff.
