A security official tells Ynet there are specific criteria for deciding the level of a soldier's security clearance.


"One of the tests we do, either by asking soldiers directly or through information provided us, is to ask whether they take part in the game," he says. "If a soldier answers in the affirmative, he is sent to a professional for an evaluation, usually a psychologist."

The IDF is encouraging soldiers who feel the need to escape reality to read the Torah instead and if that isn't good enough then try playing their "Dungeons and Dragons" replacement game - "Settlements and Bulldozers".

Don't ask, Don't tell for geeks? "We found this d20 under your bunk." weird.

This is the security clearance story from earlier in the week rehashed, right? (D&D players automatically get a worse security clearance in the Israeli army...)

Makes perfect sense. The last thing Israel needs is for smart, creative people to have high security clearance.

Sorry, iapetus, they ARE a liability -- a 1/20 chance of a critical miss is too risky.

(calculating THAC0 on the funny -- oh man, I hope I get more than one roll)

Man, that's just asking for a snide atheist remark. Not from me though, too classy.

I bet Hitler was a big D&D fan.

Nah, Hitler was more of a Twilight 2000 man, obviously.
