Perhaps it is you, YidYid, who is trying to be a different kind of Jew. The kind of Jew I am trying to be learned Torah AND plowed the land and held a spear, ready to discuss a sugya, to take trumah and maaser, to give leket and peah, but also to fight in milchamos – mitzvah, reshus, and chovah – that am yisroel required. I am trying to be the kind of Jew who not only pays attention to his personal responsibilities to HKBH, but also takes care of his national responsibilities to HKBH, which too many who wear velvet kappels have forgotten. It happens to be that the ones doing ALL these things are the ones wearing kipot srugot.
So who does that put michutz lamachane? You, or him?
