As I remember hearing last, the Yeshiva students are presently exempt from military service. It is their belief, perhaps self-serving, that they need to spend their time, seeking wisdom of the faith and miltiary service would divert their attention.

It is a bone of contention in Israel.

But in democratic Israel, Arabs are also exempt from military service as well.

They must be reading the wrong books.
