When a תלמיד חכם with a sense of humor was asked why על פי התורה are women exempt from military service, he answered: “The תורה says ‏מבן עשרים שנה ומעלה כל יוצאי צבא בישראל. This is clear as far as men are concerned. But with women, you never know their true age and they remain פחות מגיל עשרים for a long time.”
