So if someone would ask if we could have parnassah without a job, the answer would be yes as well.
I’m not saying a person doesn’t need to get a job, or that as things currently stand, we should disband the army.
A proper analogy (similar to ones given by the Chazon Ish and others) would be if Reuven had a lot of wealth and didn’t need to work, but Shimon swindled him of all his possessions and then offered him a job. Perhaps Reuven needs to take him up on it, but Shimon doesn’t have any groiser yasher koach coming to him.
