At a forum about women’s tennis I read that after two years of being a soldier, world No.18 Shahar Peer completed her duty, gave back her uniform and received official release documents.

Shahar Peer comes from Israel, a country where military service is obligatory for both men and women. Being a celebrity, Shahar could have avoided the service, but she didn’t. Of course, as a tennis star, she had certain privileges and her military service was often just symbolic, but still, it’s nice that she wanted to do her part.

  1. Shame on Peer..she served in a “defence” force that has killed so many innocent Palestinian children and women.

  2. Shame on you, she’s doing it for her country because it’s mandatory… let’s not get involved in politics.
