They are all designated for non-combat assignment, due to physical disability or mental incompatibility. Ashkenazi and Sephardic, crass and urbane, religious and secular, urban and rural, scarred refugees and confident Sabras, with at least a half-dozen different mother-tongues: they are the quintessential melting pot that this country was at its founding, and which still survives in the IDF to this day. But as the title suggests this is not a utopia held together through brotherly love. Each of these young men is on his own here, trying to find his place in the impersonal and not terribly sympathetic IDF<\/em>.
