Sounds like a great idea for a reality TV show.

I think it is something to do with them being conscripts. They are required to serve so the least they can do is try to get their remains back.

Israel get 2 dead soldiers back.

Hezbollah might have had the stronger negotiating team, but they don't seem to have had the stronger shooting team, going by those figures.

Israel get 2 dead soldiers back (and can't tell for definate until they do some testing that the bodies are who they are supposed to be).

Can't help feeling that Hezbollah had the stronger negotiating team out that day.

The Israelis have always followed this line. sort of 'One of us is worth ten of you'
