Israeli Female Soldiers On Why They Fight As Well As The Military Men (VIDEO)

The Israeli military is considered one of the best in the world, and every citizen must serve in it in order to keep their citizenship.

The CNN report below is an interesting look at Israeli women soldiers and why they are just as capable as their male counterparts. They certainly don't lack confidence. Staff Sgt. Davida Loecher makes her case:
