IDF]    makes  no claim to be  a halachic  army

r ZS   is correct  that  even a meshumad priest is  'halacha  bound'  , 
but  no one  would calll   him  in any sense  halachically compliant .
therefore  ,  it would  follow  that  if  one  holds that duty to serve 
only follows  in a   halachically mandated  [and following ] entity ,
one should be  able  to argue  against  serving based on this halachic 
basis.

one could  likewise argue, that a frum  Yehudi  [ from mamlechet Yehuda] 
who  moved to  territory of one of the other 10 tribes 
should be able to contend  the  division from  the Kingdom of DAvid  was 
invalid, and claim army exemtion  from the Yisrael armies  on tha 
tbasis....
