Staff Sgt. Kerell Goldenshin was killed before dawn in exchanges of fire near the town of Beit Hanoun, where the operation is concentrated.
Goldshin senior had harsh words for the political echelon:
"I am so tired for politicians meddling in the army. All these leaders along with Mr. Olmert should have gone home already. I don't think that a person (Olmert), with every due respect to the opinions of his pacifist children, should have control over the people who sacrifice everything. I also don't think that Mr. Avigdor Lieberman, who has never held either a Kalachnikov (AK-47) or M-16 in his life, can decide where and how we should retaliate."
While our sympathies go out, in a democracy, the people get whta they voted for. So, next time, let's make sure we get the best piolitical leadership we can, with or without military experience. After all, super-commando former Chief of Staff Ehud Barak was a miserable politician on security.
