The conditions on the base are such that there is a bunker, and then there are towers at which guard duty is performed. To get to the towers and posts for guard duty there is very open space. Under the circumstances, my son decided he didn't want to go out there anymore, so he refused. After about 10 days he was taken off the base, sent down to another base and on Thursday was tried and given 14 days confinement in a base in the West Bank. This worries him and I, but right now I am truly more worried about what happens next in this country.
Nothing is truly quiet.
People are getting shot at and hurt. Roads get closed. The country is cut up and people are fighting with each other on what to do. The government is more of a mystery than politics and nothing is clear, clean or healthy. I am glad to see him but there is tension.
