@katan .
Thanks for this clarification.
This is very important.
here katan broke ranks with somejew.
if we are to take katan at face value [no reason not to]
katan agrees here that pikuach nefesh supersedes any understanding of the three oaths
so [even if] organizing an army to defend the yoshvei EY would contravene the oaths , nevertheless bimkom pikuach nefesh , this is mandated
katan argues that the IDF is not a good fit, because its involvement with the three hamurot.
meaning avoda zara giluy arayot and shfihut damim.

the Q is now . the mere fact that the IDF is osek in those three , is that enough to stop a frum jew’s involvement in the IDF
or do we need to consider the candidate, the frum jew’s own participation in the three hamurot ?
.
meaning : if the frum jew himself will not participate in the three hamurot , but other people within that army are,
is that ground to prohibit the frum jew’s participation in the IDF to save lives ?
