The answer is simple. If the IDF is run by anti-Torah people, then Chareidim should not join and just let them get on with it. The alternative is to have an army run by Torah Jews, with only Chareidim in it. What was the army like in the time of the Tanach – you were only allowed in if you were shomer mitzvos.
By the way, the army was chiloni-free for 1000 years from the time of Moshe, but we don’t hear of any complaints about why the chilonim were not serving. Now, with a mere 77 years of the State, the chilonim don’t stop complaining why the chareidim don’t serve.
Cry babies, indeed.
