The Army managed fine without Chareidim for 65 years. Even the Zionists admit they don’t need the Chareidim. They even say it will be a mess integrating Frum Jews who must be separated from women, have special kosher dietary requirements (more strict than Daati) as well as other religious needs. They say they want it, not because they need Chareidim in their Army, but because it is “only fair.”
Well, it isn’t fair the entire burden of Limud HaTorah falls entirely upon Chareidim’s shoulders. In “fairness”, protecting klal yisroel via Limud HaTorah should also be “shared” by Chilonim. Yet, they won’t do so. So, they are getting the better bargain. We Frum Jews are doing ALL the Limud Torah, while the Chilonim are doing zilch. So we’ll protect the klal with Torah and they’ll do their Army duty.
Their Army’s been managing without us for 65 years, and we’ve been managing without them for 100+ years. We need both? Great: They’ll do the Army service and we’ll do the Torah service.
