benignuman:
The problem with that cheshbon is that the hesder yeshiva bochrim would not be the only ones getting shorter stints in the army; sow would the chilonim. So you would still be taking time spent learning by the Charaidim and transferring it to the chilonim, who will probably not spend it learning Torah.
zahavasdad:
All that proves is that the chilonim still don’t like us. No big shocker there.
