IDF HR Major General Stern lambasted the government for ignoring commonplace draft dodging. The MKs responded by accusing Stern of supporting exemption for yeshiva students. Stern, moreover, pushed ultra-Orthodox Jews away from the IDF by requiring them to serve in mixed secular-religious units.
7% of secular Jews cite medical issues to avoid being drafted. IDF will ease its restrictions on drafting criminals – a move that will worsen the abuse of young Jews in the army.
It is a wonder that so many young Jews still want to serve in the army despite the peace brainwashing in schools and media and the example of pop idols who refuse to enlist in the IDF.

In view of all this draft dodging is it any wonder that such a large proportion of the officer corps is made up of highly motivated modern orthodox youth? Unfortunately, every time there is a protest against government policies regarding the settlements-the Army has the incredible audacity to “threaten” the young demonstrators that they won’t be drafted . Where then will the Army get its soldiers and officers for its elite units? Maybe it should look for them in Haredi Yeshivot, or perhaps among those backpacking in India,or maybe still try recruiting those with “medical” deferments!
