To Barry: I believe that is an often misunderstood teitch of the Noach issue. Noach was not faulted for not reaching out to other people. he did that very much. He took 120 years to build a teiva, for that purpose explicitly. There are also maamarei Chazal that describe Noach and Mesushelach traveling around and talking to people.
Noach is faulted for not davening for the salvation of generation, like Avrohom Avinu did before the destruction of Sedom and at other times as well. Chareidim that I know do daven for the protection of the soldiers all the time. Yes I know that most don’t say the Mi Sheberach that was composed in recent times. But they say tehillim, and they say the time tested pisgam of Acheinu kol bais Yisroel.
Giving out chumashim at an induction ceremony means absolutely nothing if the behavior once they’re in the army is k’neged Hatorah.
