I just saw the video of the protest in Israel against the new policy of Yeshiva Bochurim being drafted into the army. It was very enlightening. It was also the best proof as to why some of these kids SHOULD be in the army. throwing rocks at other Yidden doing their job, pushing garbage containers at police on horses and lighting other garbage containers on fire is NOT the way a yeshiva Bochur acts.
The video was chopped up, but it looked as if the police were showing tremendous restraint for most of the video. These boys clearly have too much energy and they are not channeling it into learning.
let them fight a common enemy instead of their brothers.

I don't think its fair to make this judgement based on behaviour at a desperate time. If the yeshiva bochurim feel that they are fighting for their lives, which is how they feel is it reasonable to expect calm and restraint. This is not a reflection of who they are or of their values but of their desperation
