PBA -“Then you will have 100% (or close to it) of people not serving.
Not quite.
Because then they won’t mind serving, because they won’t worry about being shmadded in the army, and they will be protecting a state which they think is legitimate and worth protecting.”
Wrong for two reasons:
1. If most people in EY are or start keeping the Torah and I’m Not including Fakers which hide amongst Frumme, then Moshiach will be here and there won’t be any need for an army.
2. If even Ch’vs Moshiach doesn’t come -there still won’t be need for an army. You could hire just a few people to serve and that would be enough. All Avrohom Aveinu needed was some sand. The Hishtadlus to protect us against Goyim would be minimal, if even that much.
