File this under so bizarre, it’s funny. In case you didn’t know, everybody who is a citizen of Israel has to serve in the army at some point. Naturally, this creates a pretty large soldier community that you see walking around with semi-automatic killing machines. Most people are pretty used to the sight, but coming from gun free America (ha ha), it takes a little getting used to. What’s impossible to get used to is after being hit in the arm, head, whatever; the sheepish “sorry’s” you hear from the soldiers. Yes, please be sorry you’re sticking your semi automatic killing machine in my face, now would you mind moving it to your other shoulder so you can keep hitting somebody else? This is why those aren’t known as semi-automatic weapons, but instead Israeli “sorry sticks”.
