It's not just the IDF, you have a CHOICE to join the spymaster side of it, vs being a regular grunt. That unit is part of Aman, the military version of Mossad.
And why would choosing to be a grunt be more morally pure?
I'm a techie, if I were forced into conscription I would absolutely choose an option that let me use computers over one that forced me to shoot a gun. There's no way on Earth I can hold it against a bunch of kids who were forced to make that choice that they chose the intelligence arm.
And frankly, I have a hard time seeing how someone on this forum could hold that against them in good faith. Nearly everyone here would make the same call given that choice. If you think you wouldn't have, you're probably deluding yourself.
