Sam2; your words are worth repeating. And although I, too, did not agree to criminalizing draft evasion, it was done purely to equate it with the law for every citizen, so as to avoid any problems in court.
And, as I showed in another post, the law is actually very advantageous to chareidim- especially for a large part of them whoe are well into their thirties and will be totally free from army service.
