    Our documentary is about Lone Soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces. A lone soldier is a person from outside of Israel who volunteers to serve in the army and has no family with them in Israel. We chose this topic because the lone soldier program is something unique to the IDF. While filming this documentary we had the privilege of speaking with many different people who were lone soldiers or are connected to lone soldiers, and although they each had unique, interesting stories, every single one said the same thing; it was the best experience of their lives and they would gladly do it again. We wanted to explore what makes the experience so amazing, and what motivates people to leave their homes and move half way around the world to serve in an army.

    I'm a former US Marine, my body is banged up, and I am older. But would serve with the idf in a heartbeat. Kudos and thanks to the younger men and women doing so. I have no ties to Israel, besides deep respect and love. Bless you all, and....

    Serving in the IDF doesn't make you a traitor to the U.S. In fact, it's quite the opposite. You are joining a military that is fighting radical Islamists on a daily basis. Radical Islam is Americas biggest enemy. You are also helping one of, if not our biggest ally.

      29anonymouse Since 2003, six unarmed American citizens, including two women and a 14-year-old, have been shot in the face and/or murdered by the Terrorists of the Zionist 'Israel Defense Force'. The 666 hexagram is symbol of the haters of humanity.

    Good for them in serving in a military but most if not all of these Lone Soldiers are Dual-Citizens I think. If you aren't of Jewish heritage you can only serve as an auxiliary not actual IDF.

      William Hudson I guess because he doesn't consider Israel an apartheid state!! If you want apartheid, I suggest you go to Saudi Arabia, or Iran or Dubai or Qatar. I mean if you really want to be hated for being Western, or a US citizen, or god forbid all that AND a woman, by all means those are the places to go.
      You sound like an American. Not an overly bright one, but I will tell you that Israel LOVES Americans. In Tel Aviv you would feel as if you were in the States because EVERY body speaks English, the dress is very western, and there is none of that 'down with America' bullshit. With the exception of Hebrew signage, (there is a LOT of English) you would feel very much at home, and very welcome.
      Try getting that in Egypt.

    I can see an American raising money for Israel or serving in the US military first and then going to serve in the IDF. I'd do it that way but I'm way too patriotic, I did three years in the US Marines. And until Israel treats its black Jews as equals I won't be fighting for them any time soon, but I'll raise funds for them or help in any other way like red cross or something. Even though they're an ally, Americans should serve here first. IMHO.

      Ann Boylen fair what you said, but what do you mean israel should treat it's black jews equally? sure there are small cases of racism here but compared to the USA, USA is 10× worse, also black jews get the exact same rights, opportunities and treatment as any other person in israel, i have dozens of black students in my school, I even have black teachers, so I'm not sure what you're talking about
