In those eight months, the Israeli government had counted 91 separate incidents along the Jordanian border. Then the Jordanians suddenly stepped up the violence.

So Gore drives this fantastic ambulance, and Igor fixes a Russian tank captured from the Arabs. They become great buddies, of course, while a lot of studs get their brains shot out.
