I am amazed and shocked about this. Are things going so bad in Israel that they need to resort to this? Mentally challenged people are not only less equiped to make the choice to join the army `compos mentis` — killing other people and risking your own life are not exactly trivial concepts to grasp. But they are also less qualified for the difficult and challenging job that the military poses. To be real cynical about this: free canon fodder for the high hats. A degrading and shocking plan.
