Is the IDF Too Jewish Or Not Jewish Enough?

Normally the main complaint against the army, by the Haredi community, is that the IDF is not Jewish enough. The IDF is not a place for a good Jewish boy. It is too difficult to keep ones Jewish values and ideals, and level of observance, while in the IDF.

It seems a "more jewish" army isn't what is really wanted (at least by some).
The Peles newspaper wrote an angry editorial about the new rapprochement between the Haredi community and the IDF. It notes the emotional prayers in the yeshivot, the tremendous chessed by members of chessed organizations donating food and equipment to soldiers in the south, and especially noteworthy of Givati Commander Ofer Vinter - who gave an interview to haredi newspaper Mishpacha.
They especially don't like Vinter, whom they accuse of using his kippa and taking advantage of the atmosphere of war to grant an interview in the Haredi media and influence Haredi youth to enlist.
They attack the assistance given in tying green tzitzis to be sent to the front.

According to them it is all part of a plan to re-educate the haredi community.

Not Jewish enough, or too Jewish. Either way it seems to be no good.
