2. Does this person get paid for an opinion?

It's just drivel. Non-military oversight is what? When there was a government the mossad decided not to bomb iran against the non-military oversight. Really you pay people for this kind of bs?
3. proof why the army doesn't need the haredi
zionist forever   (06.01.19)
Things might be more complicated but there is still a functioning government that includes a PM, cabinet,Defense Minister, Chief of Staff etc.
Nothing has changed except for the fact that we are about to have a campaign to decide who will be running the country in 3 months.

What it does show is hw trivial the haredi draft is and how its motivated by hatred of haredi and not the NEEDS OF THE ARMY.
The army are getting rid of reserve units, cutting down the length of reserve time to be served, the army do need the haredi in most cases and would probably not want them if its was their choice because they don't need more job nicks but they do need the money that would be saved by not taking drafting extra people they have no need for.

In 1948 the bigger your army the better your chances of winning the war but these days armies worldwide are slimming down and making more use of smart weapons so it we were going to draft the haredi it should have been in 1948 not 2019 just to satisfy the secular haredi haters.
