I find it distressing that the predominant reaction on this forum is, “Let’s avoid service, and let someone else take the hit.”
My father and his brother served in the US Army when they were drafted. It was not easy, but when called, they did their duty. And I have friends and neighbors (frum yidden) who did the same. These men served as soldiers, officers, and chaplains. They asked their shailos about Shabbos and kashrus, and they served.
You might think about that the next time you enjoy the wealth of freedom the United States provides. Yes, it’s not a perfect country (there is no perfect country); yes, the current Administration’s policy on Israel is confounding.
But it is more confounding to confront an attitude of, “I will suck the freedom and benefits of this land, and let someone else stand to defend it while I cower behind any manner of excuse and subterfuge I can conjure so that someone else takes a bullet while I relax with my freedom.”
Actually, it borders on abhorrent. There is no compulsory draft in the US, so no one is compelled to serve. But if circumstances warrant the participation of able bodied men, and one is capable of serving among others so required, then be a man, and do it.
