Worth checking out how the IDF's ranks work. Of particular note is that Corporal, Sergeant, and Staff Sergeant aren't NCO positions like most militaries, and autopromotion means if you sign on after your conscription period your minimum rank will be Staff Sergeant.
Given the US military prides itself on its strong NCOs being the foundation of its combat operations, you have to wonder if there aren't some portions of the US military absolutely livid that the government is forking money hand over fist to Israel only to put on this kind of charade.
