“but there is no classified checklist locked in a defense ministers drawer that reads “list of ways to break frum people and turn them into secular zionists after enlistment”…”

Actually the Defense Minister believes that the conscription of hareidim is a dumb idea since it will recruit many soliders who will not be helpful in defending the country (unlike the hareidi volunteers, who in fact might not continue to serve once conscription of yeshivos is put in place), and will be soldiers who will be very expensive to maintain (since married draftees, especially with children, are paid substantially more). From a military perspective, there is no “case” to be made for conscription of yeshiva students.
