Talk:The People's Army Model

Translated from Hebrew wikipedia --Midrashah (talk) 21:38, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Movement Away From Model
There has recently been a change in the divisions of the IDF, which has led away from the idea that this model serves as a melting pot among different groups in Israel. The changes proposed would alter the tracks of those who enlist with the goal of becoming a professional in their chosen area of service. This would distinguish them from the rest of young soldiers that enlist only as an act of national obligation; it targets "talented" individuals who will most likely want to continue their service after the required period is over.

There is also debate within the country on the definition of the term "People's Army," because this would suggest that everyones serves with the same end-goal. However, there is a modern day divide among those serving to ensure that Israel maintains its status as a military powerhouse and others who serve because it maintains a sense of Zionism.
