The reason they want to draft Yeshiva Bocherim into the army, is to equalize the sacrifice that they have to make. I don;t think it is fair that some people just sit in Yeshiva, not necessarily learning, and the CHILONIM die while protecting the country. People could sit in Yeshiva all their lives, EXCEPT when they are helping to protect ALL the Jews in the army.
I had a first cousin was killed in Sinai. We also have several uncles who were frum, and served in the army as career soldiers.
More Torah = More Protection, is a nice phrase, but tell that to my aunt who lost a son, because he wasn’t sitting in Yeshiva.
Israel is a small country, and all it’s citizens should take part in its defense.
