THIS girl has everything you need for a day at the beach: her bikini, a pal — and an assault rifle.
The shocking picture, which claims to show an Israeli soldier relaxing on the sand, became an internet phenomenon after being posted on the web.The tanned, brown-haired soldier is said to be a member of the highly-trained Israeli Defence Forces.And some web users have pointed out the practical reasons for the soldier taking her weapon on her beach break.Members of the Israeli military are required to accompany their weapons at all times if they are taken outside their military base.And the punishments for losing a weapon can be severe in the Middle Eastern country - including time in a tough military prison.But if she is on patrol in the snap, it is unclear why the soldier has opted for swimwear rather than a military uniform.
And many web users have been confused by the soldier's stripping off, with one asking: "Where does she keep her spare bullets?"Israel's compulsory military service means almost the entire female population must spend two years in the military after reaching 18.The IDF are some of the most gender-equal in the world, with women making up almost one-third of the force, and 50% of its officers.
