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.
I think it’s you who’s distorting the facts. Not every IDF combat soldier sleeps in a barracks at night. Many of them are up all night, and combat soldiers have some variation of an “8 hours on, 8 hours off” schedule. That means they are on duty 16 hours a day. Do many kollel guys learn that many hours in a day?
Not everyone is “always going home for the weekends,” either. Many only get home every second or third weekend.
If IDF army guys are hitching, they face a pretty hefty fine if caught by the MPs. It’s actually illegal for anyone in the IDF to tremp, in uniform or not. (source of info: my IDF child)
