Soldier jailed for yawning

[mercurial]

Jerusalem - An Israeli soldier got three weeks in the slammer for yawning during a ceremony this week to mark the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, according to his mother.

She said her son yawned "without covering his mouth" while the commander of his air force base was speaking during a memorial event Israel held on Monday.

When the commander spotted him, he stopped his speech and later ordered the soldier to spend 21 days in jail for what the commander called his "disrespectful act", the mother said.

Wasn't he perhaps standing on attention and thus it would have been just as disrespectful to move his hand?

What a retard commander. My retard gr1 teacher did something similar for a innocent yawn by me, maybe this commander dumbass is her brother...

I agree. You can hardly move your hand to cover a yawn when at attention on parade.

Discipline is the name of the game. They are not where they are today for nothing. In fact he should've gotten life sentence.

Um......ja, the fact that the USA is 10 million times the size of Israel ( country and military size ), but let's face it, the scoreline will be in this region

Do not piss the IDF off.
