Sam: certainly different MK’s have different intentions.
Still, it is quite clear that the majority of chilonim don’t want people to be frum at all. They say that outright. And it is obvious that this is a step in that plan.
You don’t see it as that, because your community draws religious value from serving, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people from the chardal community come out of the army more religious.
But, chareidim are certainly not going to see it as that, and it is quite certain to have a negative effect, and that is certainly part of the goal.
