"Oh the Orthodox don't serve". That assertion may no longer apply. The Israeli Supreme Court, which like the US Supreme Court does not have any Protestant members somehow, has decreed that the exemptio0n from military service for ulta-Orthodox males is now unconstitutional. Thes individuals are members of a sect called the Haredi, and because of their Duggaresque fertility constitute close to ten per cent of Israel's population. The country has come to the conclusion that it cannot afford to have such a large number of men not serving in the military. (And since they "study" nothing but religion, they're increasingly unfit to participate in a modern economy).
