We took a massive wrong turn somewhere in Europe in the 19th Century
What a cheap spin on the Hanukkah story. Are you trying to compare a secular army to the kohen gadol and his son's. And where did you pick up your story about matityahu being a farmer. Kohanim lived off terumos and maSer

You scribble:
" Are you trying to compare a secular army to the kohen gadol and his son's"
You obviously don't know the Chanukah story. According to the Mahral it wasn't only the Sons that were fighting, in fact the Mahral writes that this war went on for years way after this story. According to practically all Rishonim many Jews fought in these battles. In fact, all the findings in the archeological digs in and around Modiin and the north, shows that many Jews took part in the revolution.
Hey tzaddik? What about R' Akiva's army? Bar Kochba? Were they all frum?
Learn your history first then re=read the parody
If you did shemone esra today you said reshaim beyad tzadikim temayim beyad tehorim etc. This is what we celebrate and remember for 2000 years.
Just a test

Exactly all those in the army were tzaddikim ..like today .. all those willing to put their lives on the line and protect the likes of you are tzaddikim.
Exactly Dusiznies,

So why are the "tzaddikim" not joining the IDF? Why don't they make their own unit like the Hesder Yeshivois and join the army? The answer is they want the mothers of chilonim to God Forbid mourn their children, and then they can call those children in uniform, Nazi!
