"I Felt That There Was Power in My Hands"

Story One of the effects a combat service has on men is the sense of power that they have in their hands which is expressed mainly in carrying weapons. As soldiers testify, the sense of power leads to violence in general and to violence against women in particular. "If you were now to watch my briefing to soldiers just before we go on an exercise or a mission, then this is what you would hear: 'the first force conquers Michal, the second force conquers Hadas 1 and continues to Hadas 2, the third force conquers Malka'". (From the words of one of the commanders who was interviewed in the story). | Part 2 of the Militarism and Masculinity series. Click to watch part 1 Language:  Hebrew Subtitles:  English
