I realize that, I just don't understand what the attraction is to move there. Especially if you're already living in a wealthy country. I'm not sure what could be great about serving...it's mandatory and it lasts for 2-3 years. And you know that place is a constant war zone.

There's a very low casualty rate (Lower than the American army, or close to), and it provides real benefits and connections. You get to stay close to family and friends, lots of leave time etc. I wouldn't personally move there, but a lot of people don't live in a wealthy nation, like you said. I guess a lot of people just want to be around other Jews.
