The Netziv (Heemek Devar Devarim 17,15) and Rav Kook (Miushpat Cohen 144) say that any leader chosen by the public has the status of a king for these matters. Rav Schachter quoted Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky as telling his grandson that if lived in Israel, he would be obligated to serve. He hs a shiur on e subject which can be heard online. Rav Zevin also condemned draft dodgers. You can read it (�R. Shelomo Yosef Zevin on the Drafting of Yeshiva Students� (TRADITION, Fall 1985)) online.
The fact is that nobody goes OTD because of the IDF. They would have gone OTD anyway,as anyone who lives in a Chareidi area knows.
