crossed back into Israel.
“Lieutenant Colonel Dostaka, wake up! It is time again!”
“Grrrrph… (Yawn!) Time for what?”
“To close the gate again.”
“What gate?”
“Didn’t you hear? We’re pulling out of Lebanon. Again.”
“Yes, so?”
“Well, you are our official “gate closer,” it’s time for you to do the number
again. Well, you didn’t get promoted for nothing you know.”
