That's a broad assumption considering he was an expert in his field so he wasn't a fool, was in uniform with a weapon, was declared by IDF as a combat casualty, and was killed in a combat incident with another IDF soldier
My understanding is he was an expert historian on E”Y and a gem of a person. That being said “was declared by IDF as a combat casualty” seems to be a spin by the IDF.

And a former infantry major. Not like some yeshiva bachur on a joyride

Why, a yeshiva bachur can't be an infantry general? ;)

And Mike Tyson was a former world champion. Still has no business in a ring.

Regardless, HY"D is appropriate, and calling someone in Olam HaEmes names isn't.

I would guess that this wasn't the first time, and he's not the first retired officer to be allowed (or asked to come!) in by officers in the field...

Maybe Daniellea Weiss' tour of Gaza fits the "foolish civilian" slur.

It’s a convenient way to appear impartial.

Just find a dead guy on the other side and issue an arrest warrant to pretend you’re going after everyone equally. Who cares that he hasn’t been heard from in 4 months and Israel is sure he’s dead, right?

ETA: like aygart said.

"he was an expert in his field" - what's that supposed to mean. He was a researcher, not an active soldier.
Why was he in uniform with a gun? That just makes it more likely he'll be killed, not less.
"and was killed in a combat incident with another IDF soldier" - That also just makes it more likely he'll be killed, not less.

I wasn't saying that he's a Rasha or that we shouldn't feel sorry for him and his family. I saw there was a special mention of HY"D and was questioning the insistence of putting those letters after his name when he went into a dangerous area without good reason.

Was he killed because he was Jewish? Or because he was with soldiers that were invading a foreign country and wearing clothes to make it look like he's part of them? Does that get a HY"D or not?

Maybe Mods could implement an honor-rating system. If a troll's rating falls below a certain threshold, they should be banned or restricted from specific boards.

Chatter is he was there at the request of the army to help map out the fortress in order to flag places where terrorists may be hiding. They didn't consider him a military fatality for no reason...
