In Israel to be a general you need to work up the ranks, USA has a voluntary army, there is a difference. Similarily in the Israeli Army no one is thinking of actually drafting charedi into combat units, there are plenty of jobs and training to be given in other areas such as admin, para medic, etc, there of course are organisations like Zaka where men can serve within strictly orthodox groups.
Sushee you are fortunate to be living in the USA where you are safe and the wars your country wage are not on your doorstep, in Israel it is important for the morale of the state for all to show themselves willing to make a contribution.
Israel is a young new country and needs all hands on deck to make things work. I have been in Jerusalem when the call up was sent out for reservists, seen orthodox men take their seats on the army buses and charedi neighbours watch them go by, can you not understand the resentment and sense of insjustice people feel. The m The men I saw being called up had all been to yeshivas for some time, including my own sons.
Right now Satmar are campaining in Israel against the elections, people here in the CR are saying that Satmar are taking nothing from the State. Well who is paying for the policing and security bill for this grand show against the evil zionists?
