Reply To: Being a Frum military Officer

Well, Joseph’s right that I solicited comments, so I guess I did ask for it. But I also said, I’m looking for serious pros/cons, please don’t assume it’s impossible to be Frum unless you know 1st, 2nd or 3rd hand. I don’t expect everyone to have been in the military, but maybe “I know a guy who’s brother’s chavrusa had a friend who…”

But trying to itemize, I’ve basically gotten two three cons:

1. It’s Pikuach Nefesh

2. It’s dangerous in Ruchnius

3. the all powerful “There’s no heter.”

Does that basically cover it?
