lesschumras -“Are you saying that every chaired learns?”
Are you saying every Chiloni is in the army?
“If you want to treat their efforts the same then the cbaredim should be subject to the same restrictions. If the chilonim can’t go home each evening or take days off whenever they want, neither should the Chareidim.”
More distortion of the facts. Army guys don’t go into the barracks at nite to sleep? So the yeshiva guys also go to the dorm to sleep. Army guys are always on the road going home for the weekends and most of them are hitching. Yeshiva guys it depends on the Yeshiva. The ones where Shabbos is part of the Yeshiva, they get off on certain Shabbosim, not everyone.
“Heath, Israel is not in a response state of war?”
It’s not. It might be close, but it’s not. Even if it was, you don’t need a draft. If there is a war, you need more people learning. Numbers in the army is irrevelant, unless you believe in “Koach V’ozem Yodi”!
