Sounds like the Urban Myth of Mister Rodgers being sniper in the Marines during the Vietnam War.

Anyway if you look at the answer Dr. Ruth did briefly serve in the IDF, but then got fatally wounded during the Israeli War of Indepedence in East Jerusalem, which would still make a great story within itself. By the amount of harms way she was put in it sounds like she was an infantry women, even though sniper is not completely out of the realm of possibility.

Funny that you posted this on Israeli Independence Day marking the 59th anniversary of Israel's existence.

Don't shoot the messanger, I am only reiterating what was stated as the "answer" on that website. I don't care whether you refute it or not, in fact I would like if you did shed more light or sources on this.

And unless she knows nill about artillery or her battalion must have ran into some dirt poor renegade despotes, cannon balls were decomissioned even from that point in the middle east for a long time.

Uh...Slow down Kemo Sabe.
I'm not disagreeing with the statement, or her reasons for her past.
I'm not taking anything out on you, and maybe you should read what you wrote.

SHE DIDN'T DIE FROM HER WOUNDS. That was the point.
So, If I hurt your feelers that much, then talk to the wall.

If you mean Wailing Wall then thats pretty dam offensive.

I actually got what you stated about poking fun at urban legends like if you play a certain Beatles ablum backwards John is singing "Paul is Dead" and how the Abby Road picture Paul is wearing no shoes and dressed in white, ect ,ect. But I feel that I put so much work and eloquently typed that reply I just had to keep it.

Nope.
No reference to the Wailing Wall either.
