"Yonatan, at first I thought as
time would pass and as we would advance through the army we'd
understand that you were a soldier like all the soldiers in Zahal.
Now I know and feel that it's not like that. I made a mistake. Dafka
now, your absence is felt more. The need for your skills is felt
more. You have still remained, over the distance of time, the same
person and officer that we thought you. And it hurts and is
frustrating to see how much we lost."
Roi,
one of Yonatan's soldiers, January 1998 |
