On August 1, 2012, the second postponement period for recruiting the ultra-Orthodox to the army was supposed to end. The High Court informed the government that the "Tal Law", enacted for the purpose of postponing the conscription, is unconstitutional.
12 years have passed since then. The trend of shortening the service gave way to a law that dramatically and immediately extends it and the number of reserve days. The small, smart and technological army, which we all thought would easily protect us, was seen as unprepared.
