You'll need to be more specific. Every adult in Israel is ex-military since they have a mandatory draft. The exception is draft dodgers. FWIW, notably orthodox Jews are among those.


Mandatory service isn’t the point. The issue is that a foreign jurisdiction with a tight intelligence industry overlap is processing U.S. government IDs. especially for something like X/Twitter where verified accounts include journalists, activists, and government officials. There are many alternatives located in the US.


If that isn't the point, why mention they are ex-military? Mentioning they're located in Israel ('foreign jurisdiction with a tight intelligence industry overlap') would suffice.
