Rocky: Your logic highlights one major flaw in the message put out by the chiloni world. Just because you have a certain belief and appreciation of the military, having an elitist and disconnected mentality will not draw the other person closer to your way of thinking. Your argument goes something like
“Why don’t the Chareidim appreciate our military? Don’t they know that military protects the Jews?!
No, they don’t. They value enlisting in the military as much as a security guard protecting the bank vault.
