Reply To: Would you choose army or kollel?

golfer- I agree that serving in the army is more valuable in that regard than working. My point is, is that if a person needs a parnassah, he will choose to work. If he doesn’t need as much parnassah, and he wants to focus his time on more valuable endeavors, and he has a choice between sitting and learning or going to the army, what incentives are there to choose the army? As I said before, learning is much less risk and as much (if not more) reward. And if our nation needs soldiers, and it’s an individual’s choice to choose either the army or the Beis Medrash, where will our nation get soldiers?
