    Yes, just like the Palestinians have grandparents who tell them what happened back in 1948.

    And now the next generation will have grandparents that tell them what happened in 2023.

    I know what you imply. Adult age in 1948 are probably all mostly dead but would be great grandparents if alive. Their story could be that: the world - the UN - had a partition plan but we rejected it and took things in our hands militarily - but we lost. Or maybe another guy remembers his pride in knowing an old Jewish woman was pushed in her wheelchair off the deck of the Achille Laro. 

    The future stories better talk of how happy they were at how many baby occupiers were beheaded on 10/7.

    The possibly better parallel to the Palestinian suffering is the German grandparents telling how the RAF and USAAF bombed them. But no US or British celebrities were asking for donations. Like now. US colleges didn't erupt with protests siding with the 1941 Japanese.

    Shalom baby

    My impression of the US Post Pearl Harbor 1941 reaction was one of national military humiliation and irrational national societal panic.

    I think I know what you mean but I see it different, the "national mood". The late 1941 panic I think you refer to can be seen in the movie "1941" where southern California or much of the US west coast were concerned for an invasion. National humiliation was not at all what emotion bubbled up. The Japanese surprise attack was seen as a dirty move and stoked a revenge mindset. I am no PhD to describe it but nationwide recruiting stations were flooded with folks wanting to get them back for Pearl Harbor. Hollywood movies always pumped this to keep the nation fired up. I think your current IDF soldier is NOT focused on "Why did we let this 10/7 happen? We are humiliated!" - But more like December 1941 US males lining up outside the recruiting station. Vengeance oriented. Many previous non-interventionists began a new mindset. The national culture had a spike change for songs, slogans, movies to align behind the nation like never before.

    Just my thoughts.

    New #1 hit in Israel.

    "חרבו דרבו"

    "Harbu Darbu" (also shown as "Charbu Darbu") 

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/hip-hop-war-anthem-reaches-number-one-in-israel/

    I remember listening to "Proud to be an American" in 1991 about a hundred times as the Gulf War started.

    EDIT: also this old anthem has been re-released. Like a second national anthem.

    I think we are witnessing what I call a Post Pearl Harbor 1941 National Mood. The Oct 7 attack inflicted a Pearl Harbor equivalent level of impact to the mood to go to total war. 

    I think this will be very ugly the next few months. 

    One other thought I had is that maybe the 1973 Yom Kippur IDF soldiers are the grandfathers or grandmothers of these current younger age IDF soldiers. The lesson of Yom Kippur is the surprise assault against Israel. Imagine your Grandpa went through that and what he might pass on the feeling of that time, as a warning. A defining moment for that older generation. 

    Lyrics even have a reference to mom and dad and then grandpa and grandma. It supports that this is something very special to the Israelis. We will see extremes in response.

    in French North Africa. 28 of the AMD 80
    (a.k.a. the Laffly-Vincennes or Laffly 80
    AM) were built in 1934-35 and sent to
    Tunisia where some later fought against
    Axis troops. Both designs had a second
    driver facing the rear of the vehicle. AMD in French North Africa were is-
    sued mostly to RCA. “AMD” stands for Automitrailleuse de Découverte,
    which indicated an AFV used for long-range reconnaissance. 37mm low velocity HE only gun and coax MG.

    tions Extérieures). A total of thirty were built. One squadron was sent to
    the Levant where it was issued to the 6th RCA, while the remainder were
    shipped to French North Africa. An advanced feature of the vehicle for its
    time was the use of an additional, rear-facing, driver. 37mm low velocity HE only gun and coax MG.

    As a dedicated Steamist

    Maybe you know if any Steam guys created and shared there in Steam some CM scenarios? I was briefly on Steam and played some Lock n Load ASL style games "Heroes of ...." and made and shared some scenarios. I then departed Steam and moved on. Internet issues on my end and I discovered VASL and vassal and Discord.

    Any news on the upcoming module?

    My words to Splinty were not to restrict what you or anybody can say here.

    I just offered my 2 cents SOP to deal with stuff that might get under his skin. He doesn't have to follow it of course. 

    Steve will probably post his bones thread in January 2024 and then we see what he decides to share about what they got to and what they didn't get to and all that yada yada yada. 

    And I retract the word troll from my advice.

    Quote

    Hey buddy. It is hard to resist I know. Forum SOP: Don't feed trolls. Don't let yourself fall into an "argument loop" based on your feelings about somebody's post.

    Looking at Blimey's CMSF1 mod, he had used (and given credit to others for) some Israeli voices wav files. Made by modders working on a mod for Theater of War I think. Some great recordings! Upon deeper investigation it seems someone ran into the need to copy and paste to "flesh out" the voice slots. The bottom line is all of us non-Hebrew speakers out there will not really know anyway what is being said but we will hear a lot of the same voice clips. I will try my usual method to improve on that. In 2024 I will track down some Hebrew language war movies and do recordings and edit it into some new voice clips. This same issue is holding up the release of the CMFI KOREA 1950 mod. I admit I also have to do the copy and paste to flesh out the voice slots. There are over 300 different voice clips needed for the British force modded to be Koreans and now here as Israelis.

    But in any regard...an official kohlenklau thank you to @Blimey
