Reply To: Would you choose army or kollel?

I don’t want to see Charedim be forced into the army or chalilah into combat (for that matter, I don’t like seeing ANY Yid forced to fight, but it is tragically necessary), but I would like to see them give SOME form of service to the country that does its utmost to protect their rights. That is not siding with the enemy by any stretch of the imagination. There has to be a compromise of SOME type here, that will mollify both sides.
