without sharing their learning z’chuyot with their soldier counterparts
No, not specifically, and “sharing” is the wrong word. It is a z’chus for everyone, including the chayalim, including Yair Lapid, etc.

Probably right about the myfriend part, dead wrong about the gezel part. Are you a Choshen Mishpat dayan to even offer a halachic opinion like that?
