“I turn to the chief medical officer: Have you no shame? You received a soldier in good physical condition with great potential and you turned him into a rag,” said Ya’acov Schneor. “I call on the head of the army’s training department: Have you no shame? With all the tools at your disposal inside the base, during training a soldier collapsed and died.”
Schneor recalled a similar incident in the air force that did not result in the harming of any of the soldiers — but the base commander resigned. Such incidents, said Schneor, are unfitting for an army in the year 2002.
“The shame is ours and the shame is on all those who are responsible. They must resign,” he said.
