ISTR Trudeau taking some political heat for it at the time. The gist of it was: a just-out-of-basic-training IDF soldier was involved in his first engagement with a Palestinian intifada, and was being “mentored,” as it were, by a more experienced veteran. Conducting a house-to-house sweep, the young soldier was startled by something or other, and opened up with his weapon, on full auto.
When he stopped shooting, he looked inside the house to see who or what he had just blasted. Then, very excitedly, he exclaimed “I did it! I killed a terrorist!” Standing behind him, the veteran laconically remarked “Maybe two. She looks pregnant.”
I know I didn’t imagine this strip, but damned if I can find so much of an acknowledgment that it ever existed. One problem is that I can’t confidently recall the time frame of the strip. I want to say that it predated the Clinton administration, and was therefore before the first time I learned the word “intifada.” But I can’t promise that.
Anyway, does anyone remember the strip, and what became of it?
TIA.
