@anon1m0us In the times of tanach, EVERYONE was learning and only the most learned were the ones who went to battle. Thing is now, most Jews are in the army rather than learning. Like I’ve said before, if chilonim went to learn half time I would have no problem sending my child to fight half the time too.
You have to remember who is RUNNING this world, and although you may disagree, many people like Joseph have said are saying that the army is doing enough hishtadlus. We’ve won countless wars without the chareidim and protected our country very well with the insane odds against us. It’s been working till now, so why complain? Had we been losing wars with thousands of dying I think many of us and the gedolim may feel different on the issue…
