SQUARE_ROOT – The Chazon Ish is explicit, with no conditions, no caveats.
Just close the Gemara and stand up to save Israel immediately.
Nothing more to add.

Those of us who DO have a physical copy of the Seforim of the Chazon Ish aren’t impressed by your screeds. The piece was not written with regard to the IDF, but to resolve an apparent contradiction in the Gemara in Maseches Sotah WRT Milchemes Mitzvah. The part of the Chazon Ish you omitted DOES add MULTIPLE conditions and caveats when this applies (thereby explaining why in one place the Gemara says one thing, and in another place appears to say something else), even when discussing a REAL JEWISH ARMY = ?????? ??? ??? with a ???? ????? etc. By the way, the Gemara there, and hence the Chazon Ish, ISN’T talking about ?????? ?????, ONLY about a Chosson during Shana Rishona, or someone who built a house or planted a vineyard. All of this is very easy to see IF YOU ACTUALLY BOTHER TO READ THE QUOTE INSIDE THE SEFER WITH THE CONTEXT.
