H is simply incorrect, especially regarding the Hesder system. The biggest threats to Chareidi society are poverty caused by men refusing to work and support their families as required by the ketubot they sign (and no, there is no responsibility to give large amounts to such people) and the anti-social behavior among youths who are not fit for full-time study but have no outlet. The latter was, in fact, the mistake made with Eisav (Rav Shimshon Rafael Hirsch, commentary to Bereisheet 25:27).
