Why draft the Charaidim?

Can someone kindly provide a coherent, articulate explanation of why the Charaidim should have to serve in the Israeli army?

I personally don’t think it makes any sense to drag the learners out of the Bais Medrash and make them serve in the army when the army has no need for additional soldiers. All that will accomplish is that each person would serve for a shorter amount of time. So we would end up with less people learning, and yet the army wouldn’t get any bigger.

So why draft the Charaidim?
