1. The so called Nachal Chareidi consists of mostly daati enlistees. The minority of members who are Chareidim are mostly those who grew up Chareidi but left Chareidi life for something less religious or irreligious.

2. as long as women are part of the regular army (i am referring teenage girls being in the next room in what was mens only barracks in isolated outposts) to boost the morale of the men it is not an army for any Jew

   lets not forget the forced attendance of religious men at celebratory events with women performing on stage in the name unit cohesion

3. yes. look at 00:54 most dont look chareidi, but rather daati. it also make sense for the army/state to exaggerrate the numbers in order to tempt chareidi boys to join. nehbach for anyone who lures a boy to leave yeshiva….

4. Nehbach to all those tens of thousands who were coerced to sit in yeshiva but their hearts and minds were elsewhere…a much greater churban than sitting through a womans song

5. Chareidi amiti, not having zitzfleish to sit long hours in yeshiva does not give any man a heter to hear women sing.
