Israel has a mandatory draft! It’s very accommodating to frum Jews unlike the Russian army that wasn’t do accommodating for frum Jews. If we really believed that we should learn Torah all day, then go to the army as required and then go back to learning full time afterwards. I really don’t understand how this is a gezeira. The borders of Israel are getting more insecure every day and Iran is almost getting a nuclear weapon. We need a big army.
