Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- A 24-year-old Israeli soldier living in occupied Safad, called Daniel Edri, set himself on fire yesterday. His burned body was found inside his car in a forest near Safad. Edri had served in both the Gaza Strip and Lebanon during his reserve duty.

The soldier’s mother said: “He told me he had seen horrors and said, ‘Mom, I constantly smell the burned bodies and see them everywhere.'”

Not really, the SS was selected for cruelty and indoctrination, the IDF is a conscripted army. They didn't put conscripts inside Auschwitz exactly because of this.

Doesn't matter what they were selected for, traumatic experiences can get to anyone. I know we have this shared history that SS guards were the worst of humanity and boy howdy I'm sure they were awful, but at the end of the day they were still young men. eg Even the most garbage humans in the US military can get PTSD.
