Question
Should a soldier on duty fast on Tisha B'Av? The question is divided between soldiers in the field and those in the command center. Additionally, it should be noted that soldiers both in the field and in the command center are performing routine activities and are on constant alert, so one must consider not only the current situation but also the possibility that an event might start at any moment, requiring everyone to be in their best condition.
