There are not only two sides to this conflict- in fact, there are probably as many sides and opinions either way as there are people in our nation.
Any Torah loving Jew can appreciate the stubbornness of the gedolim and haredi community to not lose an ounce of learning and to protect and grow our young men.
However I think that there is a tremendous chiyuv first and foremost to promote unity at all costs among the ????? ???? ????? of our nation, and an equally important chiyuv to properly deal with the hilonim, which unfortunately is the majority. However this plays out, if THEY start to take steps over the next few years that prove the conspiracies that this is a war waged on the Torah way of life, so let them lose their ???? – the yeshivas are welcome to leave to BH many countries that will openly accept them and even provide them with benefits. Of course this would be tragic, but this is all IF it comes to that. I just think from a logical POV that the manner this is being dealt with is far more exaggerated than it has to be, thus drawing world wide negative attention on the Jews, and resulting in bittul Torah and a further division of ?? ????? for many of those (myself included) who choose to take a stance on the issue, whether proactively or mentally. I cant help but think- Nothing good can come of this. We’ve had 2000 years to try and fix ???? ????. we are living in one of the most flourishing eras in jewish history, our people are united through the mutual connection to our country BH and throughout the four corners of the world due to globalization. BH this is a great time to be a jew and love our fellow jew, and yet we still can’t come together … There is an element of ingratitude or lack of ???? ???? for those who protect our nation and this should be addressed. I also hope that the boys who choose to willingly serve and then continue learning do not become taboo in the yeshiva world. I think it’s a very high ???? to be a Torah observant soldier. This is all my (perhaps) twisted logic… What I’m confused about is that the gedolim are calling this a harsh gezeira and are deeply concerned. I am worried there’s something we are missing. Time will tell. Maybe the conspiracy theorists are dead on, maybe they’re off. Maybe they’re dead on, but are reacting improperly. Maybe not… Who knows? Only HKBH knows. Love your fellow Jew. Worry about your Torah and your kids torah. Then worry about everyone else’s torah.
