Chapter 38 Retired General "Shy-Rock" (3) Transferred to Washington (2/3)


 

He was influenced by his father deeply. Shy-Rock joined to the just founded Air Force and aimed to become a pilot. He played an active role as a fighter pilot in the Six Day War in 1967. Six Day War began when Egyptian President Gamal Nasser blockaded the Tiran Strait and U.S.S.R. severed diplomatic ties with Israel. But the war resulted in a devastating blow to Egypt and Syria due to a preemptive strike by the Israeli Air Force. The battle ended in just six days. The Six Day War impressed the world with the myth of Israel's invincibility. The real winner of war was the Israeli Air Force.

 

After the war, Shy-Rock was offered to be transferred to Israeli embassy in Washington in U.S. as a military attaché. It was a merit award for his achievements during the Six Day War. On the battlefield, he was cool-headed and courageous. In general, he was not talkative. He was hesitant to become a military attaché of the embassy. But there was no reason to reject the offer to be stationed in the United States. It would be a good chance to pursue a higher rank in the military. His wife and two daughters pushed him. In particular, elder daughter Golda was overjoyed when her father was assigned to the job in the United States.
