So a minority of people who actually want to serve in the army can’t make up the army?
How about in the US: 0.4 percent of the American population is active military personnel.
Why aren’t you serving in the US Army? Do you expect to laze around while just 0.4 percent of the American people are bearing YOUR burden?
Seriously, the Israeli army needs to get with the times and become a volunteer army that enlists only people who want to enlist, instead of a bunch of mostly unmotivated recruits who bloat the army with unneeded jobnik positions. And by the way, I say this as someone whose son served in the army.
