I just want to point out that you’re being a bit dishonest. In the Yeshivish/Chareidi world, those Gedolim who hold of the army are marginalized and therefore not “mainstream”. You’ve created a tautology. All mainstream Gedolim are anti-army because anyone pro-army is inherently not a mainstream Gadol. I’m not here to compare the qualities of the Gedolei Haposkim in the Dati L’umi versus Chareidi camps (though I think most agree that there are more “Gedolim” in the Chareidi camp). But it is possible to be pro-army service and still be following “Daas Torah”.
