After three years, you leave the army unless you want to sign on to remain as an officer permanently, which I did not want to do.

I wanted to go to university.

I was pursuing a career in journalism as well.

At that time, I was doing sports journalism.

I had no interest in staying.

So do most people join the army in Israel?

You have to join the army in Israel unless you have a good reason to opt out.

and especially people from my sector, secular Israelis, the vast majority serve.

So Israel has several sectors socially, right?

I'm secular.

I don't have, you know, a kippah in my head and all that.

Druze do serve, Arabs don't.

So it's complicated.
