Responding to HaKatan:
Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik (also known as Chaim Brisker) died in July 1918 CE.
That was thirty [30] years before the modern State of Israel, which started in 1948 CE.
Concerning those who abandoned the Derech HaTorah and became Secular Zionists,
almost all of them would have abandoned the Derech HaTorah even without Secular Zionism.
And almost all Jews who abandoned the Derech HaTorah during their time in the IDF,
they would have abandoned the Derech HaTorah, even without the IDF.

No offense intended, sir, but I noticed many times
that you are very eager to make big accusations against Jews.
This is exactly what The Satan does: He is always accusing Jews.
Your never-ending accusations against Jews,
they make you just like The Satan.
If you were a true tzadik, you would maximize the severity
of your own sins, while minimizing the sins of other Jews.
This is what was taught by Rabbi Yisroel Salanter ZTL ZYA.
