yankel > because …. returning as cripples – is a clear calamity ….
> whereas returning OTD … in your opinion …. is obviously not .

AAQ > by the way, your analogy is not necessarily correct. See Avoda Zorah that shows that sakanah has to be treated
stricter than a spiritual matter.
> That is, if you follow halachik methodology and arrive to a conclusion according to majority, you are sort of covered
even if you made a mistake.
If you drink water that was not poisoned according to majority opinion, but actually was – the poison will work.

You are not addressing my point .

a] there is no majority of yir’ar shamayim chachamim in our case advocating for enlistment , not even a minority …. maybe yechidim mamash …. even am mistapek whether there are even yechidim

b] the children going OTD are OTD … that’s a fact ! ….. exactly like the children who are crippled are crippled …. also a fact !

the principle you quote is only valid in a case doing an issur and the question is , in case the person doing the issur had a bona fide psak from a yerei shamayim rav , whether he has to suffer punishment for his actions …

but the facts are the facts … regardless

the cripples are cripples
and the OTD children are OTD ……

and nevertheless you are still making light of the OTD danger and treating the cripple danger with severity ….
