Nude Israeli commandos face sack (seriously)

[jefferson_dem]

Six Israeli commandos may be sacked after a photo of them posing naked was published in a national newspaper.

The men photographed themselves standing in the winter snow during a trip to the Golan Heights, but were also snapped by a press photographer.

Their commander was outraged and said his men would be fired for shaming the prestigious naval elite unit.

But there was widespread sympathy for the men. Their parents said it was merely a prank by veteran servicemen.
