Whenever we are engaged in anything that is not Torah – even if it is another mitzvah we are not doing the ideal. It might be what Hashem wants from us, but that is from His perspective.

What in the world does that mean? One should learn even if that is not what Hashem wants?

Sorry, not my religion.

Besides, every Jewish nation, from Moshe Rabbainu on, had soldiers. Perhaps they were not a “standing army”, and more like “reserves”, but they did fight when required. And they were “drafted” when needed to fight. (see many times in Tanach with David Hamelech, Devorah, etc.)

You completely missed my point, BTW. You assume you are righteous enough that you don’t need a physical army. You, as others before you, (i.e. Yoshiyahu Hamelech) are incorrect. Don’t feel bad, those greater than you have made this mistake.

I know we will disagree on this one (due to our different Hashkafos, as we have gone through before), so I will not bother you further.
