"military service is compulsory for all men when they are 18 years old."

Not correct. All men (and women) except those in a Yeshiva (religious school). As I understated it, they can post-pone their enlistment indefinitely.

I also understand this is a touchy subject in Israel right now.

Sure. But a vast majority of men do that, and are proud to do it. In Israel, you meet your best friends in the army.

you're speaking on behalf of a "vast majority of men"?
