Changes

All citizens of Israel, male and female, except for the ultra-[[Orthodox]] and [[Muslim]] are obligated to serve a minimum of two years on [[active duty]] in the IDF upon graduating from high school and a number of years thereafter as [[reservists]], meaning that Israel probably has the world's most thorough system of [[conscription]]. Career soldiers have gone on to lead the country more frequently than in the [[United States]], such as the notable examples of [[Yitzhak Rabin]], [[Ehud Barak]] and [[Ariel Sharon]].
