And they were in J. Crew, head to toe. They're not photographed very often, the girls...
...testimonies reveal the discomfort and trauma of soldiers' reliving their involvement in a complicated combat setting. And their matter-of-fact recounting of the minutiae of the combat experience, along with moments of palpable pride in having struck a Hamas rocket crew or conducting themselves appropriately in relation to Palestinian civilians, certainly lends an air of authenticity to the report...
