Tactics, maneuvers, capiblities, flexability, inventivness, all are positives from the game and I would think would be important but then again it is what is important to you and what you are looking for in an army.

I wonder how the average other person evaluates with the psychologists They only stated, that half of the rpglers evaluated where not good enough. But how many other people are evaluated? And when? And why?
But still, the point, that most modern role-players have stopped to look at things in black and white might be a moral dilemma for soldiering.

Dang. I was all about to sign up for the IDF, too.
The only thing stopping me was tousands of miles of ocean, my advanced years, and my absolutely stunning gut. Now I'll have to follow my second love, interperative dance.

"Of course."
"Well, I've been thinking about my plan to go to law school. So I'm standing in line at the post office the other day and I look around and I realize that these are the people I would be representing. The dregs of humanity. Not that humanity's bad or anything, I just... I don't know."
"So, if you're not going to law school, what do you want to do?"
"....I wanna dance!"

Israeli Army Discriminates Against D&D Players

"One of the tests we do, either by asking soldiers directly or through information provided us, is to ask whether they take part in the game," he says. "If a soldier answers in the affirmative, he is sent to a professional for an evaluation, usually a psychologist."

Who reads the off-topic forum? 
Anyways the discrimination is apparently only regarding live action roleplaying, not tabletop D&D. At least I said I played D&D and I got accepted as an intelligence sargeant (non-officer-commander, what's the english term?), so it apprently didn't hurt MY profile...
I find the idea insane to begin with, but hey that's not the only stupid thing they do.
BTW you get discharged if you're in a "self-awareness" group like IM or, I believe, Vipassana.
