Avi K- “to expect Israel to make due with a volunteer army due to its security situation and small population relative to its enemies. The taxes required to attract people, especially the type of technosavvy people most needed, would break the public.”
Again you write your theories as fact. They aren’t fact and they aren’t reasonable. They already pay many members of the army. Yes, they can have a paid and a volunteer army to serve Israel. Saying it’s financially unattainable is gibberish. Obviously you know nothing about armies. Saying you need to hire only “technosavvy” people is ridiculous. Yes, you have to have these, but does any foot soldier or any basic infantrymen have to be like this? Of course not. The biggest proof is the US army. If every enlisted guy had to be “technosavvy”, they would have lost every war. Most enlisted personel probably have either a below avg. or avg. IQ.
“As for guys who are not learning as they should, they are stealing from the public which supports them amd shirking their duty. This must stop.”
Whether it should stop or not is not your or the Israeli gov. concern. If you feel the RY or the admin. of a Yeshiva is not dealing properly with this problem, then by all means don’t donate to them.
This is also not a govs.’ concern, unless before they give money to any school they examine if everybody is learning the way they are supposed to. There are some public schools in the US that have horrible basic knowledge rates. Even in top colleges -do you really think e/o learns the way they are supposed to?
The fact that you keep pointing this out about Yeshivos and that you don’t mention this about other schools shows your bias against Charedim!
