Title: Why Aren't More Jews in the Military?
Post by: horselady on July 23, 2008, 02:24:20 AM
I rarely, if ever hear  about Jewish guys going into the military these days. While I'm sure there are a few, their numbers do not represent their
percentage of the population. My father and all my uncles served in the Army, either in WWII or in Korea. My bother enlisted in the Army
after college and my husband (Jewish on his mother's side) was a US Marine during the Vietnam War. I found this article on the subject
and was disturbed by it. I get asked this question a lot by gentiles, so I'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject:


Attention: Where are the Jews in the U.S. military?

Maj. RobLevinson

As an active duty Air Force officer currently stationed overseas, and as a Jew who grew up in the Bay Area, it is gratifying to see the overwhelming support the Bay Area Jewish community is showing for our current efforts to fight terrorism. We in the community, closely connected to Israel as we are, have understood the need to fight terror for a long time. Now, unfortunately, this need has tragically been brought home to all Americans. However, while I take great pride in the support the Jewish community is showing, a certain question keeps gnawing at me: Where are the Jews in the United States military?

Try this experiment at your next synagogue service or other Jewish gathering. Ask all the veterans to stand up. My guess is that the average age will be in the 70s as the proud veterans of World War II represent the majority. Then ask those who have a son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter who is a veteran or serving on active duty to stand up. Finally, ask those who currently know somebody serving on active duty to stand up as well. Sadly my guess is that the groups of people answering yes to the last two questions will be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Unfortunately, while Jews in the United States are over-represented in virtually every profession from law to medicine to science, they are few and far between in the armed forces of our country. Truth be told, nice Jewish boys and girls aren't raised to grow up and be soldiers, except of course in Israel. Throughout my career in the Air Force, I can't recall a single time that I didn't have trouble finding a minyan at any base I have been to.

Now some may think that this has always been the case, but this is simply not true. The oldest U.S. veterans' organization is the Jewish War Veterans. It was formed shortly after the Civil War, partly to counter the impression that Jews did not serve their country. Fifty percent of the first graduating class of West Point was Jewish. Jews can proudly take their place among America's war heroes like Admirals Uriah Levy and Hyman Rickover, or Congressional Medal of Honor winner John Levitow, an airman. Without a change in current trends of declining Jewish participation in the armed forces, this proud history may be at an end.

The reasons for this are many. Undoubtedly the Jewish community, primarily being upper-middle class, similar to most non-Jews of this class, doesn't see the military as terribly upwardly mobile. Today, those who have military-age children, the baby boomers, formed their impressions of the military in the 1960s and these impressions are generally negative. Others perceive the military as an institution as somehow anti-Semitic. From personal experience I can tell you that if anything, the military is rather philo-Semitic, perhaps owing to the great professional respect many personnel have for the Israeli Defense Force. There may be other reasons as well, but they pale when compared to the reasons we should serve.

No people owes more to America than its Jews. Without a doubt we are the freest, most prosperous, most influential Jewish community in the history of the world. We owe this to a country founded upon a set of principles, defended by the blood of patriots for over two centuries. Just as America has blessed its Jews, we Jews have blessed America. We are presidents of corporations, senators and congressmen, justices of the Supreme Court, doctors and lawyers, Nobel Prize winners and other achievers too numerous to mention. Given this wonderful history, it is clear that we also have a duty to our country to take our place beside others who are prepared to defend it. Do we really want to say, thank you America, but let others put their lives on the line? I don't think so.

Along with pushing our sons and daughters to medicine at Stanford or law at Harvard, we need to ask them to consider Annapolis or West Point, or for a really fine education, the Air Force Academy (my bias shines through). We also need to consider how we as a community support our armed forces. Do we commemorate Memorial Day and Veterans Day? Do we call the local military bases and find out if every Jewish soldier, sailor, or member of the Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard has a place to go for Shabbat dinner, Pesach, or the High Holy Days? Do we volunteer for the USO? Do our rabbis serve as chaplains (sadly this is a problem that is nearly a crisis)?

In the wake of the terrible events of Sept. 11, the call has gone out once again for America to defend freedom. As we proudly stood with those who fought to free the slaves and defeat Hitler, we must again answer: America's Jews are present and ready for duty!

Horselady, JTF actually would prefer that Jews, or for that matter anybody, not enter the military right now, because of the extreme political correctness of it and the fact that people are dying for absolutely nothing. Although I consider every soldier a hero and myself unfit to wipe their shoes, I myself do not have a high opinion of any institution that puts heroes through bogus, kangaroo "war crimes" trials and offers terrorists immunity in exchange for testifying against them.

I agree with that last part totally.

But I do not believe people are dying for nothing, and neither do most of the troops and their families.

May I refer you to a a blog I did 2 years ago that features letters from the troops that you'll never hear from the MSM.

Major Levinson answers his own question quite well. "Truth be told, nice Jewish boys and girls aren't raised to grow up and be soldiers, except of course in Israel. "

Jewish mothers are more likely to prefer that their sons grow up to be doctors, lawyers and accountants rather than soldiers.

And who's going to argue with a Jewish mother ?

Actually they do if you take % of Jews in the U.S. of military age and thats not alot due to the large amount of Jews who marry later in life then general population.And if you consider the extremely low Birth rate among Jews they do serve in proportion

Those people asking "Why aren't Jews in the Military?" are most often the same people who believe that Jews "control" every aspect of  life..

For example:  "Roosevelt was a Jew", "Rockefeller is Jew", "Rumsfeld is really Jewish" "All bankers are Jews"  "Jews control Wall Street"  "Jews started every war in history"  "Hitler's Dad was a Jew!"...etc.

Then while Jews are in fact in uniform actively engaged in two theatres of war today representing all branches of the military, the same folks obsessed with Jews suddenly are unable to see Jews.

Anyone believing that Jews make up a substantial portion of the American populace only believe this falsehood because the tiny percentage of Jews are such high achievers in every profession and occupation in which they engage.

A friend of mine in banking pointed out to me that not many jews are in banking either.  Maybe some have taken risks and lead some. But most jews are not in banking, even though they are great financially.   I don't know alot about it so didn't really argue with him on that, suffice it to say that he knows what's going on better than anybody I know.

Look how arty jews are but not many jews are in the arts.

Jews look for safe professions, meaning, financially secure, so that they are in the best position to raise a family, pay for jewish education, kosher food. So many become accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists.

I never said Jews were not in the military, I simply asked why there are not more of them? I am trying to get exact figures but I'm sure that
they do not represent their percentage of the population. I face the Israel/Jew haters everyday on other boards and I have to answer this question
all the time, especially when people bring up names like Wolfowitz and others in government who are happy to send us into war but who have never
served. Just saying that Jewish mothers don't raise their kids to be soldiers is kind of a flip answer and the only way I shut them up is to tell them
about all the men in my family who have served.

The answers I see here seem to say that Jews are too good to serve in the military nowadays. Let someone else do it. If anyone has exact numbers of
Jews in uniform right now, I wish you could provide them. As the OP states, Jews of my father's generation served proudly in great numbers. I'm just
wondering why that isn't the case anymore?

Could it be because most Jews are liberals and we know what liberals think about the military?

Jews are not in banking much because for years they were not allowed to be in banking. Banking was a very WASP industry for many years and Jews
were not welcome for many years. Same with some of the big corporations like autos.

But because they were shut out of those industries for so long, they are highly represented in the arts, way more than their population would suggest.
Many musicians and artists are Jewish, not to mention most of the big names in Hollywood. Jews gravitated to Hollywood simply because it was a new
industry back in the beginning that was of no interest to the big business WASP types.

I don't have to be a "friend to the Jewish people" because I am Jewish and have stated so several times. Why can't I ask questions of fellow Jews
when it's one I am asked all the time by gentiles on message boards and have no good answer for.

I think you are the anti-semite because you think Jews who don't practice their relligion as seriously as you do are not good Jews.

Here are some statistics on the number of Jews in the military:


Los Angeles, Alta California - November 14, 2003 - (ACN) The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles made a startling revelation today when writer Phil Shuman wrote, "Only some 3,000 out of 1.4 million active duty servicemen and women are Jewish, about two-tenths of one percent. When it comes to Marines, the numbers are even more startling. It’s one out of 1,000. One-tenth of one percent."

Given those figures, that equals approx. 0.21% of the military

If there are about 6,000,000 Jews in the US today, they represent approx. 2% of the population.


So their numbers in the military fall far short of their population numbers.

What you wrote to me here is disgusting. My Jewish family members served in the US military, did you?

I think Jews should only serve in a Jewish army, they shouldn't get involved in goyim's wars unless it is for the defrense and well being of the Jews (i.e ww1 - Jews shouldn't have get involved, ww2- they should have fought in allied armies against the Nazis).

Jews may live in America, but their motherland is Israel.

Thank you. And thank your family for their service. Too bad there aren't more like you today. Considering the Jewish Left comprises the largest part of American
Jewry, I'm not surprised.  What I am surprised at is being attacked by fellow Jews for asking a simple question.

IF, and that's a very big if, America went to war with Israel, I would have to side with Israel. Until then, I am an American first, Jew second.
If I felt as you do, I would definitely be living in Israel now.

When Moshiach is here, or at least a reasonably strong and bold religious Jew were to become the Prime Minister of Israel, I would certainly fight on the side of Israel. America is a wonderful country and certainly the country under which Judaism was allowed to flourish while other nations kept us down. But I am a dreamer of Zion which doesnt exist at the moment. I know it can exist, and I daven for this to happen each day. I don't think it will come to this, though Tamar Yonah on A7 news has made comparisons of GW Bush to Gog in the prophecy regarding coming of Moshiach. I dont always agree with her but it is an interesting thing to consider.

I am a Jew first, and an American second because my thoughts and actions are Jewish at all times. I dont find that current American values fit my value system. I was sucked into the dark underbelly of American culture and through a miracle I was able to escape that hell. As a BT I should not talk about my past.

But I will defend America against its enemies. I have worked in the defense industry working in high technology weaponry which is currently being used by the American defense department. I really hope this is not what will happen.

 Horselady- I can tell you flat out- that even though ALL of my family served, and I have done what I could, this new movement of Anti-Jew DOES NOT CARE.  They consider ALL Jews as a menace to society- and this is the truth.  You saw it with "ClassicWoman" (I think that is her name) on the other forum you are on. There is NO changing her mindset. I WILL PROTECT EVERY SINGLE JEW. Left OR right, If I have had to, and this is BAD for these Anti-Jew people, I AM NOT a force to be reckoned with, I have MANY high ranking officers as great friends, and they WILL be with me, should ANYTHING EVER happen to me.  You know how Christians say: "Christian & Gd first" country second?

horselady:  "The answers I see here seem to say that Jews are too good to serve in the military nowadays. Let someone else do it. If anyone has exact numbers of
Jews in uniform right now, I wish you could provide them. As the OP states, Jews of my father's generation served proudly in great numbers. I'm just
wondering why that isn't the case anymore?
Could it be because most Jews are liberals and we know what liberals think about the military?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU ARE A NAZI TROLL, horselady!

No one who is a friend of the Jewish People ask questions such as this one, a veiled ultimatum to "answer the charges of your neo-Nazi friends at your other forums", pretending that you really don't know how to answer such allegations from your friends.

CONSIDER YOURSELF OUTED!

WE JEWS WERE FIGHTING THE BATTLE OF JERICHO AT THE TIME YOUR ANCESTORS WERE WORSHIPPING OAK TREES AND YOUR PROPHETS WERE WITCHES WHO READ BONES.




Massuh, I dont know why you are so cranky. I dont suspect HorseLadys Jewishness. It is OK to ask questions like this. I dont think it is disrespectful or antisemitic. Jews are always misrepresented and undercounted.

I think you should apologize to her because I think you misunderstood her intention.

One of my more Orthodox friends lost his 1st daughter in Iraq 3 years ago.

Lisa Jacobsen was killed in an IED while driving in a humvee. She was the 1st Female member of the Air Force to die in Iraq. It was a tragic loss for my friend David who was instrumental in bringing me into Orthodoxy along with Rabbi Kaufman.

Well yes, there are those people too. I don't try to argue with the obvious anti-semites too much, because it is a waste of time.
But people often have legitimate questions about Jews that I try to answer as best I can.

I'd like to think that Jews would not sit back and take it this time, but then again, there are an awful lot of them (liberal Jews) in Israel
who seem ready to give up everything rather than fight. I hope their numbers aren't greater than the Zionists there now.

I met an Israeli Jew on another board and he was all for making more concessions to the Palestinians. I had a hard time believing he
was a Jew at all, but got I banned before I could find out.

For people that said that Israel comes first for a Jewish person: I'm with you! America has kicked Jews out before, what's to stop them from doing it again?

For the person (I believe it was Horselady who said it) who said, in America, do call yourself a Jewish American or Jewish Israeli? The way I feel: I'll put it to you this way: My cell phone ringtone is Hatikva. In Israel at least there's a reason for defending ourselves. Despite the leftist gov't, I still want the Arabs out of Israel and to expand it to a greater Israel!

You think she's a Nazi because she said most Jews are liberal, but don't care that Alex Jones says that Israel "deliberately targets civilians"? WTF? I myself would dispute whether Jews are really all that liberal, at least the real ones (the vast majority of Christians, which are "mainline" Protestants and nominal Catholics [often of Third World origin], are extremely liberal), but she did absolutely nothing to merit a typical Massuhist rant.

You have a long history of making obscene curses against people who in any way disagree with your idiotic, cockamamie beliefs. Need I remind everyone of when you wished that everyone who disagrees with Nik should die of cancer? Or when you interjected yourself in the debate between Dan, Scriabin and I, which didn't even involve you in the least?

Why you aren't banned isn't something I can answer.

Horselady, I have nothing but the highest level of honor and respect for anyone putting on a uniform, but I have to agree with all of the critics of the U.S. military here. The Armed Forces of the United States have become a politically-correct joke in the past 15 years. It started with Bill Clinton having our elite paratroopers dragged through the streets of Mogadishu to feed the starving Somali Muslim Nazis. Then, it got worse, as he sent our forces into action to commit genocide against Serbia. Finally, we have five years of quagmire in Iraq and seven in Afghanistan--both against two-bit foes that wouldn't have lasted three weeks against the U.S. Army of 1945 or even 1991.

Our boys and girls are getting murdered for nothing, because Dubya doesn't want to do anything that would harm so-called Muzzie "civilians", because that would offend his Saudi overlords. I will never support the bravest and most heroic of America's sons and daughters dying to save Muslim Nazis, or because they were forbidden to fight back agains them when getting shot at. We have a president who values al-Qaeda butchers over his own citizens.

Defending America is permissible by my book... as long as it doesn't involve fighting another Jew. Most of the resent military engagement of America were either stupid (Iraq, Afghanistan) or evil (Bosnia, Serbia) so I feel sorry for soldiers who lost their lives in stupid conflicts, especially Jews as they are my people, and I think it is morally sinful to participate in the war against the Serbs, for a Jew or a righteous gentile,  Going to war against Serbia and enabling the installment of Islamonazi countries is a great sin.

  I suggest if they try to kill me, they better be ready for an army FIST & Batallian Commander to Praise the Lrd and pass the ammunition right in their direction. ;) And I will be the one TARGETING THEM.  JEWS WILL NOT SIT BACK THIS TIME. Over 1,900 yrs of SLAUGHTER gets to a people.....after awhile..... >:(  the "Tolerence" IS GONE.  these people had BETTER read their book- and SEE what An ANGRY G-D can do, when an EVIL people rise up against Jews, that are CRYING OUT to HaShem- this will NOT be pretty- uh- 10 plagues? Frogs? Firstborn males? Jews are CRYING out to G-d and HE IS LISTENING to their CRIES. NOT good for these nazis. BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRID.

Well yes, there are those people too. I don't try to argue with the obvious anti-semites too much, because it is a waste of time.
But people often have legitimate questions about Jews that I try to answer as best I can.

I'd like to think that Jews would not sit back and take it this time, but then again, there are an awful lot of them (liberal Jews) in Israel
who seem ready to give up everything rather than fight. I hope their numbers aren't greater than the Zionists there now.

I met an Israeli Jew on another board and he was all for making more concessions to the Palestinians. I had a hard time believing he
was a Jew at all, but got I banned before I could find out.

There are so many appeasers in Israel, its terrible. I tell them "if you don't want to defend Israel or if you lose hope you are free to leave, just don't force all of us to commit national suicide by retreating to the '49 borders because you are too scared".

When Moshiach is here, or at least a reasonably strong and bold religious Jew were to become the Prime Minister of Israel, I would certainly fight on the side of Israel. America is a wonderful country and certainly the country under which Judaism was allowed to flourish while other nations kept us down. But I am a dreamer of Zion which doesnt exist at the moment. I know it can exist, and I daven for this to happen each day. I don't think it will come to this, though Tamar Yonah on A7 news has made comparisons of GW Bush to Gog in the prophecy regarding coming of Moshiach. I dont always agree with her but it is an interesting thing to consider.

I am a Jew first, and an American second because my thoughts and actions are Jewish at all times. I dont find that current American values fit my value system. I was sucked into the dark underbelly of American culture and through a miracle I was able to escape that hell. As a BT I should not talk about my past.

But I will defend America against its enemies. I have worked in the defense industry working in high technology weaponry which is currently being used by the American defense department. I really hope this is not what will happen.

I can respect and understand that. What is a "BT?"

Horselady,

BT is an acronym for the term "Baal Teshuva" or a "Master of Return". We use this name for a Jew who leaves the religion and goes off the path. In his/her later life he comes back to his faith. In some respects this is compared to the "Born again" phenomenon in Christianity.

Quote
Baal teshuva (Hebrew: בעל תשובה; for a woman: בעלת תשובה, baalat teshuva; plural: בעלי תשובה, baalei teshuva), sometimes abbreviated to BT, is a Hebrew term referring to a person who has repented. Baal teshuva can be translated idiomatically as "one who has done repentance." Informally, it is often contrasted with "FFB," i.e Frum From Birth.

The term historically referred to a Jew who had transgressed the Halakha ("Jewish law") and completed a process of introspection and "returned" to the straight path. However, in contemporary times, the phrase is primarily used to refer to a Jew from a secular background who has become religiously observant (normally in an orthodox fashion) later in life. (The alternative term "chozer b'teshuva" (חוזר בתשובה) is more common in Israel). There are numerous baal teshuva movements and organisations that seek to encourage this.

The Talmud expresses high regard of Baalei teshuva, by stating that "the position where Baalei teshuva attain; even Tzadikim gemurim (those who were always righteous) cannot attain".

  Well, since most of the members here are men and many Jewish men, you better watch out for 'Philistine' women- I suspect that there are lots and lots of REAL neo-nazi 'philistine' women, to rob you of your strength, and TAKE YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
  The thing is, Nazi humans- they ARE siding with islamos, & islamos in the end will murder them too.  Why Jews get on the 'defense' I WILL NEVER know.
  Horselady- you must know our history, and the power of HaShem. There would be absolutely ZERO military strategy today, if it were NOT for the Gd of the Jews, NONE. Those tactics that man has used, in some cases, were used for the good- like WW2, Afghanistan, even Iraq- BUT the time is FAST approaching, where HaShem WILL show Himself as The Mighty G-D of War, against Armies, and against individuals. I have watched and seen, how a gal like me, has had a massive offense, in life, AND internet, with the help of My Gd, as of recent, I watched a Jew hating Murdering Crime talker get TOTALLY humbled, by me, but, I KNOW that HaShem WAS WITH MEWE WILL NOT SIT BACK ANYMORE.  So they can ask all the questions they want, let HaShem answer THEM, with FIRE, and use US as the arrows.
  As I said: BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. BE SCARED, BE SCARED TO DEATH

Jews in Germany who fought for the Kaiser thought the same thing.

The whole point is that there are not Jewish-Americans, but simply Jews living in America at the grace of the majority of people, which can be revoked at anytime.

Look at Crown Heights and how quickly a progrom in America took place and no one did anything.

Are you talking about the riots in CH during the term of David Dinkens? You didn't see anything like that when Giuliani took over.
But I would hardly call it a progrom. A bunch of blacks went on a rampage & killed an innocent Jew is a tragedy but hardly does it a
pogrom make. My grandparents knew about pogroms and this wasn't it.

Seriously, though, why do you live here if your loyalty is elsewhere? Seems hypocritical to me.

Horselady, I have nothing but the highest level of honor and respect for anyone putting on a uniform, but I have to agree with all of the critics of the U.S. military here. The Armed Forces of the United States have become a politically-correct joke in the past 15 years. It started with Bill Clinton having our elite paratroopers dragged through the streets of Mogadishu to feed the starving Somali Muslim Nazis. Then, it got worse, as he sent our forces into action to commit genocide against Serbia. Finally, we have five years of quagmire in Iraq and seven in Afghanistan--both against two-bit foes that wouldn't have lasted three weeks against the U.S. Army of 1945 or even 1991.

Our boys and girls are getting murdered for nothing, because Dubya doesn't want to do anything that would harm so-called Muzzie "civilians", because that would offend his Saudi overlords. I will never support the bravest and most heroic of America's sons and daughters dying to save Muslim Nazis, or because they were forbidden to fight back agains them when getting shot at. We have a president who values al-Qaeda butchers over his own citizens.

That's one point of view. I respect that but don't think it's as black and white as you do. I think history will show that GW Bush was

I (respectfully) disagree. This isn't Israel. America is not at the level of brainwashing yet where we are all indoctrinated to think that the highest good is to spare the lives of those who want to kill us. There is not a vast constituency here who is in favor of coddling terrorists and sparing Muslim "civilians". I guarantee you that most Americans want to see all terrorists and those who support them dead. The problem is that we are not an ideological nation at all--in fact, we are dead last in philosophy and culture of the developed West. We are purely consumeristic, hedonistic, and self-seeking. That has spared us, so far, from the full extent of self-hate seen in Israel and Western Europe, but of course it is still far from ideal a place to be.

Bush is the most pro-Saudi president ever. Before that, his daddy, who murdered HaRav Kahane, was. Before him, the beast Ronald Reagan (who threw away both Jonathan Pollard and Chaim Ben Pesach) was. He will do literally anything the Saudis tell him too--they say jump, he asks "how high". He is a junkie for Saudi oil, Chinese manufacturing, and Mexican labor, and will do whatever each of those heads of state tell him to.

C.F. - I love respectful disagreement!  ;)  I agree that we should have no mercy for our enemies. 

Americans are not brainwashed.  They are asleep.  They believe this enemy is 'far' away and we should just leave them alone. They will just go away if we leave them alone - right?  :D  I can't tell you how many times I have heard about the religion of peace.
They think the danger is far away.  9/11 is out of sight /out of mind for most.
Why are Americans not demanding George Bush untie the hands of our military?  Because they do not have the stomach for a real war.  We have become a weak and divided nation.

We are a civilized nation.  We should fight a real PC war.  Declare it.  Tell the civilians to get out.  If they don't...oh well.  Flatten troubled areas.  Do that enough.  Those civilians might put an end to this war themselves.
My family lost a family member during WWII.  She stayed behind in her village with an elderly woman, who wouldn't leave, and was killed in a bombing. It is a sad story but a fact of war...innocent people will die.

Horselady, I have nothing but the highest level of honor and respect for anyone putting on a uniform, but I have to agree with all of the critics of the U.S. military here. The Armed Forces of the United States have become a politically-correct joke in the past 15 years. It started with Bill Clinton having our elite paratroopers dragged through the streets of Mogadishu to feed the starving Somali Muslim Nazis. Then, it got worse, as he sent our forces into action to commit genocide against Serbia. Finally, we have five years of quagmire in Iraq and seven in Afghanistan--both against two-bit foes that wouldn't have lasted three weeks against the U.S. Army of 1945 or even 1991.

Our boys and girls are getting murdered for nothing, because Dubya doesn't want to do anything that would harm so-called Muzzie "civilians", because that would offend his Saudi overlords. I will never support the bravest and most heroic of America's sons and daughters dying to save Muslim Nazis, or because they were forbidden to fight back agains them when getting shot at. We have a president who values al-Qaeda butchers over his own citizens.

That's one point of view. I respect that but don't think it's as black and white as you do. I think history will show that GW Bush was
correct in doing what he did.
All presidents fall under the influence of the forces around them to some extent. Look at Clinton and the whole issue of giving missile technology to the Chinese. This is something I feel was far worse than anything Bush Jr. or Senior ever did. Bush has not been the greatest on key issues but then again we could have done far worse. More and more I come to believe that it is the Pentagon that wanted us to have a footprint in that part of the world Bush only implemented the policy. America is to dependent on foreign oil. Its easy to say we should not be importing oil from that part of the world but when the lights don't go on in your home, the toilet wont flush and the refrigerator is warm you may feel somewhat different. I can't stand the Arabs and I detest the fact that our government has allowed us to become so dependent on them for a commodity that fuels almost everything we touch here in America. While it is possible to transition away from this dependence its not going to happen over night. The Saudis are heavily invested in America and in some ways are as dependent on us as we are on them. They walk a fine line between their Arab brothers and their business relationship with America. As much as they may hate America they can't do without it. The vast amounts of oil they have  is the only thing that has stopped other countries from putting a strangle hold on our economy. In the past 20 years since the last shortage they have always pumped enough oil to avoid any shortage without causing prices to collapse.

All presidents fall under the influence of the forces around them to some extent. Look at Clinton and the whole issue of giving missile technology to the Chinese. This is something I feel was far worse than anything Bush Jr. or Senior ever did. Bush has not been the greatest on key issues but then again we could have done far worse. More and more I come to believe that it is the Pentagon that wanted us to have a footprint in that part of the world Bush only implemented the policy. America is to dependent on foreign oil. Its easy to say we should not be importing oil from that part of the world but when the lights don't go on in your home, the toilet wont flush and the refrigerator is warm you may feel somewhat different. I can't stand the Arabs and I detest the fact that our government has allowed us to become so dependent on them for a commodity that fuels almost everything we touch here in America. While it is possible to transition away from this dependence its not going to happen over night. The Saudis are heavily invested in America and in some ways are as dependent on us as we are on them. They walk a fine line between their Arab brothers and their business relationship with America. As much as they may hate America they can't do without it. The vast amounts of oil they have  is the only thing that has stopped other countries from putting a strangle hold on our economy. In the past 20 years since the last shortage they have always pumped enough oil to avoid any shortage without causing prices to collapse. Its a deal with the devil but we have bigger devils such as a congress that turns its back on domestic production. This is the people that Americans should really look on as the problem. If you really want to understand the relationship between the Bush Family and the Saudi Royals look for a book called House of Bush House of Saud by Craig Unger.

Exactly.

Bullcat: I don't think Americans want a PC war or are in favor of sparing "Muzzie civilians". What we do not want, and what I do not want, are American soldiers to needlessly die. I think very few Americans would be unable to sleep at night if a few B-52s loosed some daisycutters on residential neighborhoods of Sadr City (which, had it happened five years ago, would have taken the fight out of the so-called "insurgents" really fast). The Move-Onists are really a very small minority here, and have not had luck in converting the masses thus far.

In this, I do not blame them. We have the technological ability to wage war against most enemy nations without a single casualty. It is extremely possible, and even easy, in this day and age, to wage--and win--an air-only war. You notice the pig Bill Clinton (ys"vz) didn't hesitate to pound all of Serbia back to the Stone Age in 1999, and that was a nation that didn't harm anybody. If most Americans did not care about innocent Serbs getting murdered, I really do not think they will mind so-called Islamic "civilians" getting martyred in the jihad they started.

This is not Israel. America is not at the place yet where average citizens think it is noble to roll over for the people trying to kill you and give them your firstborn. Thankfully, we are not at that level, yet (which may well change after four years of a charismatic and persuasive Obama in the Oval Office). Americans are not an ideological sort at all. We care about getting rich, retiring early, and being safe from harm. Granted, the rest of the West and Israel believe in the first two as well, but they have been thoroughly brainwashed to "respect" Islam and show "mercy" to their enemies. Americans aren't at that level, because we don't trouble our closed little minds with philosophical, political, and moral issues at all, except to the extent that they immediately affect our lives. That has been somewhat of a shield for this nation against all-out treason and self-hatred on the part of the general public. But it doesn't make Americans conducive to an organization like JTF, either.

CJD: Most Americans do not support the hemmorhaging of our lifeblood to the Saudis. Any poll will show that. Most Americans are not opposed to ANWR and offshore drilling. The problem is that we have the finest Congress and Oval Office that petrodollars can buy. We are the only nation on the planet that possesses all of the natural resources it will ever need and refuses to utilize them. Our politicians pretend to want to do something about high gas prices, but since they are 100% dependent on Big Oil and their environmentalist stooges to get reelected, they know full well that there's nothing they are going to actually do about it.

Likewise, most Americans are not happy with the fact that we owe as much as our country is worth to the Chinese--who are literally keeping us from a '30s-style depression with their massive purchases of our worthless treasury bonds. The real problem behind both this, and the PC wars our nation wages these days, is that the public is apathetic--it just doesn't care. Out of sight--out of mind. We only care about our pocketbook and whether we are in imminent danger at any given moment. Seven years (since 9/11) is an eternity for the American brain; the people figure that since no more planes have crashed, the terrorists are at bay. Likewise, none of us really know or care why gas is so expensive: we want politicians to "do something" about it, but are unable to actually do the reading and research that would show them that the politicians are the problem, and not just an accessory to it.

Horselady:

JTF doesn't believe Israelis should serve in the IDF either. Everything that sucks about the U.S. military of today and more is also true of the Israeli army, navy, and air force. If you think U.S. soldiers are indoctrinated from head to toe about how great Muslim "civilians" are and why we should respect their gutter religion, you haven't seen Israel. These days, it's far more likely that the average Israeli infantry conscript will be sent to kick Jews out of their homes than to fight Arabs. In fact, quite a few kapo Israeli "refuseniks" will not serve on any mission in any Arab neighborhood or territory (and of course, they go completely unpunished). This crap is the reason why Chaim would prefer that people not join the Israeli military, right now. It is just not worth it. It has nothing to do with "America first" or "Israel first".

I guess so. Israel certainly showed that it didn't have the will to beat 1500 militiamen two years ago. Doubt if anything has changed since.

What makes Israel worse than America is that in addition to being manipulated and oppressed by a corrupt regime, the public has actually swallowed their "be nice to Arabs" crap.  :( Like Chaim would say, it's doubtful that most Jews today have the stomach to just go kill all the terrorists.

One of the few things I think we can all agree on.

I've talked to secular Israelis and I was very dissapointed, many of them are Atheist and say that the military sucks and even support Arabs have Gaza and West Bank thinking it will bring peace. I remember debating with a number of them about Olmert before he was elected saying how his wife was in woman in black and would be a disaster, none of them listened to me and said he was the best choice. Now I think a lot of them regret it.

I remember before the Lebanon war, I talked about joining the IDF with a friend asking him what training was like and found the program mahal2000, he kept saying not to do it and that it wasn't worth it and that the Israeli soldiers do not get as nice gear as the US per soldier.

It's kind of true in a way, T'Zahal puts most of it's money into nice jets, tanks, submarines but the average soldier isn't as well outfitted as the US. They still wear olive green fatigues (though it appears to work well in their environment), and none of the regular soldiers even carry a backup sidearm, they all carry either TAR-21 or the M4. I think the only people to carry sidearms are special forces and a few others.

Anyways, the IDF isn't very well respected nowadays by many people either. The IDF was feared after the 67 war, now it's just kind of disappointing. I can't associate myself with the evil government of Israel or what the IDF consists of today. This is why people associate a "Zionist" with modern day Israel because they've hijacked the star of david, they've hijacked the military, the state of Israel, and completely done a 360 on it's own Jewish people (like what happened in Amona). After seeing all the gay pride parades and this "help the world" crap, I see myself as an American first. If I recall, Kahane was the one who said there are no Israelis, only Jews, didn't he? Well I am a Jew and a American citizen. When the secular state of Israel is replaced with the Kingdom of Israel, I will live there, but I don't think that it is my time to live there now.

Post by: Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks on July 25, 2008, 01:50:09 PM
Agreed. Kadima and the Likud and Labor before them have turned the Israeli armed forces into a laughingstock. What good are hundreds of shiny new planes and tanks if (a) their crews are not being trained well in how to use them and (b) their crews aren't even allowed to use them for their intended purpose? This is a joke. The primary use of the IDF these days is to ethnically cleanse Jews. Chaim does not want any Jew to be a part of that and therefore I don't think Israelis should join the IDF if they can help it (i.e. past their mandatory conscription).

Jews should only serve in the Israeli Army. Jews don't belong in the United States. It would be a shame if a Jew did serve and then died serving a country that he or she has no place in.

Then those who feel that way should live in Israel. Case closed.

  Horselady- With Anti-Semitism on the rise here in America, 10x worse than it has EVER been, and neo-nazis siding with palestenians, and obama, just because of INSANE hatred of Jews- Economic Woes, and IRRESPONSIBLITY of govt. spending, and all of these freaks saying: "ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THE JEWS" which I see ALL of the time, constantly, Jews beaten up by neo-nazi demon satanists, just where exactly does the Jew have a home? And THEN we are told that we have to "give up" OUR OWN HOMELAND- 1900 plus years of murderous pagan devils slaughtering our ancestors, is there ANY reason WHY we should NOT be on the Offense, Defense off the fence and fighting all over, anywhere- everywhere, because we have had ENOUGH....? Jews DO serve in the Military, but the HEART of the JEW IS IN Israel, and you being Jewish SHOULD GET this, Totally- 100%. I am the STRONGEST patriot I myself have even met- my love for America is MY SOUL, however, Israel is MY HEART. Israel is Prophecy that has come to pass. IF we are NOT careful here in America, and turn our backs against the Jews and Israel, we WILL face the Wrath of G-d.  Some people forget, I dont- Ariel sharon, gives up Gaza, shakes Bushs hand- a week later, we get Katrina, and Sharon in a Coma for the remaining of his days. As I stated, we should have a more 'healthy' fear of Gd, and enemies should be AFRAID.
  Also- the kkk, and these other wacko sickos ie: C.I., Stormfuggers, etc.., ARE joining the military by the droves, b/c their wizard freak leaders are telling them to LEARN combat, so they can come back and defeat the Jews in America- THIS..............is the TRUTH.  So, HOW is a Jew even protected in the military? By the left? I DONT THINK SO.
 

You make some excellent points here Paulette and I am aware of the growing anti-semitism too. But if I felt as strongly as you do about
the fate of Jews here, I would pack my bags and be on a plane to Tel Aviv in a NY minute. I don't understand why all the people here
who have expressed their first loyalty to Israel are sitting here complaining about America. Why are they not taking
their place in Israel to ensure that no more Sharons get in office? Why aren't the young ones over there serving in the Israeli military?
Talk is cheap. Israel needs Jews to emigrate there badly. Those who are Jews first and Americans second should be in the country
they love first and foremost.

When I was in Israel many years ago, the question I was asked most often is would I make aliyah to Israel? I might have if I could
have gotten a job there, but I only speak Japanese and the Japanese embassy there didn't need anyone. Many Israelis said to me,
"Americans shouldn't just send money here, they should move here."

So I'm asking, why don't all you Israel first people go to Israel?

  Many Jews here will ride out this storm, so that Jerusalem does not come under siege, and we will use all of our influence and power to make sure that USA does not turn its back on Israel- ALSO- the JTF does NOT want US GOVT $$$ going to Israel, it ENABLES palestinians..
  On my fathers side of the family, we have been here over 350 yrs. (IF) USA attacks Israel, I WILL LEAVE, b/c I will NOT stay for the complete devastation and total wrath of Gd. (IF) I even detect this coming, I WILL talk with My David to make Aliyah ASAP. And I mean FAST. Jews will ALWAYS be for Israel 1st. Are we ALL suppose to leave USA, because our hearts and spirits yearn? I dont think so. Christian people yearn for Eternity, I believe, should we tell them to commit suicide, to hurry up along their way? OR, stay in their churches and just dont come out?

That's if the US survives long enough, I can't realistically see the US attacking Israel unless a right wing religious group (Kahanists) came to power and they negotiated to remove them from power in the name of "democracy".

US pretty much wants to make sure no nation is too powerful in the region but that it's stabalized. The US wants Israel completely dependent on foreign aid and foreign military weapons so that if she ever steps out of line, supply is cut and all those nice weapons in 10-15 years turn into useless rust buckets.

Usually America goes to war if it suits their own interests, but in the rare event there were war against Israel and the US, I wonder what those FEMA camps would be used for?

Anyways, to be perfectly honest, I think the current leftist Israeli government is more of a threat to Jews than America is at this point.

horselady, this thread is grotesque. We do not answer Nazi scum who make anti-Semitic allegations. If not for the Jews, America would not be a superpower. The Jews invented America's nuclear weapons, and the Jews also invented most of America's other great technology without which America would not be a major military power.

Your obnoxious Nazi terminology is getting on my nerves: "America first", "Israel first" - this is the language the Nazis use. The "America First" movement were open supporters of Hitler in the 1930s. The Nazis of today like Pat Buchanan and David Duke accuse the Jews of putting "Israel first". You use the same exact terminology and make the same exact Hitlerite allegations.

If you are not a Nazi troll, then you are a self-hating Jew.

A friend of mine in banking pointed out to me that not many jews are in banking either.  Maybe some have taken risks and lead some. But most jews are not in banking, even though they are great financially.   I don't know alot about it so didn't really argue with him on that, suffice it to say that he knows what's going on better than anybody I know.

Look how arty jews are but not many jews are in the arts.

Jews look for safe professions, meaning, financially secure, so that they are in the best position to raise a family, pay for jewish education, kosher food. So many become accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists.


My first two jobs were in a Talent Agency... then in a brokerage.

And YES... Jews WERE overrepresented in these occupations.  But who cares...

Mexicans are overrepresented as gardners
Vietnamese are overrepresented in Nail-polishing and pharmacy
Hindus are overrepresented as convenient store owners and computer programmers.
Blacks Women are overrepresented as government employees and welfare recipients
Filipinos are overrepresented as nurses

who cares??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Rich   






Benjamin Robert Rich (June 18, 1925 – January 5, 1995) was the second director of Lockheed's Skunk Works from 1975 to 1991, succeeding its founder, Kelly Johnson. Regarded as the "father of stealth," Ben Rich was responsible for leading the development of the F-117, the first production stealth aircraft. He also worked on the F-104, U-2, SR-71, A-12, and F-22 among others, many of which are still classified.

[edit] Early in life
Rich was born in Manila in the Philippines, one of the five children of British lumber mill superintendent Isidore Rich and his French wife, Annie, the daughter of one of his paternal grandfather's Jewish customers who resided in Alexandria, Egypt. The Rich family was one of the first Jewish families to settle in Manila. Having fled the Philippines just weeks before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they moved to the United States in 1942, where Ben Rich became a naturalized US citizen. He worked (with his father) in a Los Angeles, California machine shop during World War II, and studied at the city's Hamilton High School. After the war he started his college education when he was 21, majoring in mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley, followed by a master's degree in thermodynamics at UCLA, instead of in the medical field as he originally planned.


[edit] Lockheed
Upon graduation Rich was hired by Lockheed as a theromodynamicist. There he worked on a variety of projects - he was awarded a patent for designing a nichrome heating system which prevented Navy patrol plane crew's penises from freezing to their urine elimination pipes. He designed inlet ducts for the F-104 Starfighter, the C-130 transport aircraft, and the F-90 fighter.


[edit] The Skunk Works
In December 1954 Rich was seconded to the Skunk Works, the secret research and development section run by Lockheed's chief engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. There he designed the inlet ducts for the U-2 spy plane. Then he led the effort to build large-scale hydrogen liquefaction plant for a proposed hydrogen-powered supersonic aircraft, codenamed Suntan. After this was canceled when hydrogen proved to be impractical, Rich was program manager for the propulsion systems for the U-2's successor, the SR-71 Blackbird. The idea to paint the high-speed aircraft's skin black, to help dissipate the tremendous frictional heat, was Rich's. He designed the engine inlet cones, the air conditioning system, and was the chief thermodynamicist for the project.

Later, as Johnson's successor as leader of the Skunk Works, Rich championed the early prototypes of stealth technology and led the development of the F-117 stealth fighter. The use of modern stealth aircraft technology was partially based upon the work of Pyotr Ya. Ufimtsev.


[edit] Awards
A member of the National Academy of Engineering, he won numerous awards during his career, including the Collier Trophy. In 2005 he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame.


[edit] Family
In 1950, he married the former Faye Mayer, a fashion model, who died in 1980. In 1982, he married Hilda Elliot. He died of cancer in Ventura, California, on January 5, 1995. His son, Michael, is an executive with the RAND Corporation and his daughter, Karen, is a botanist.


[edit] Selected Aircraft
F-104 Single-engine, high-performance, supersonic interceptor aircraft.
F-90 Experimental fighter / bomber escort aircraft.
U-2 Reconnaissance aircraft. A high altitude jet aircraft used by the CIA and the US Air Force during the cold war.
SR-71 SR-71 "Blackbird". An advanced, long-range, Mach 3.2 strategic reconnaissance aircraft. The Blackbird was designed to provide reconnaissance in defended airspace while improving aircrew survivability. In the blackbird, mission success and survivability depended on aircraft speed. Ben Rich was responsible for engineering the spikes and engine inlet systems which made the Blackbirds the fastest jet aircraft in the world.
F-117 The Nighthawk, world's first production stealth aircraft.
YF-22 Prototype of F-22 Raptor.

I downloaded the movie a few months ago, it was a good movie, but personally I think the sex scene ruined it and left a bad taste in my mouth, if you can ignore that, it shows a pretty realistic image of how Jews will do anything to appease the enemy.

Also the movie is somewhat based off a true story but not completely, Based on the real life story of Jewish KKK Wizard Danny Burros (1938-65),

Daniel "Dan" Burros (March 5, 1937 – October 31, 1965) was a former member of the American Nazi Party under former Naval commander George Lincoln Rockwell, who founded the ANP in Arlington, Virginia in 1959. After falling out with Rockwell, he became a kleagle, or recruiter, for the United Klans of America Ku Klux Klan organization in New York State.

After a New York Times reporter named McCandlish Phillips revealed that Dan Burros was, in fact, Jewish, a despondent Burros committed suicide, first by shooting himself in the chest and then in the head. At the time, he was listening to music composed by Richard Wagner.[1]

Dan Burros is sometimes cited as an example of a self-hating Jew. He was also influenced by Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium.[2]

Suspicions that Dan Burros was a Jew began during his tenure in the American Nazi Party. He would sometimes bring knish to the American Nazi Party headquarters and make statements such as "Let's eat this good Jew food!" Burros also frequently spent time with Jewish women. When Rockwell discovered that he was a Jew, he still wished to maintain a relationship with him. However, within two hours of seeing this information printed in the New York Times, Burros took his own life in the Nazi compound where he had been staying.[3]

During a press conference after Burros' death, George Lincoln Rockwell railed against Jews, whom he called "... a unique people with a distinct mass of mental disorders" and ascribed Burros' instability and suicide to "this unfortunate Jewish psychosis".[4]

The story of Dan Burros was the origin of Henry Bean's movie, The Believer. It also inspired an episode of the TV series Lou Grant.

Jews should only serve in the Israeli Army. Jews don't belong in the United States. It would be a shame if a Jew did serve and then died serving a country that he or she has no place in.

Then those who feel that way should live in Israel. Case closed.

  Horselady- With Anti-Semitism on the rise here in America, 10x worse than it has EVER been, and neo-nazis siding with palestenians, and obama, just because of INSANE hatred of Jews- Economic Woes, and IRRESPONSIBLITY of govt. spending, and all of these freaks saying: "ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THE JEWS" which I see ALL of the time, constantly, Jews beaten up by neo-nazi demon satanists, just where exactly does the Jew have a home? And THEN we are told that we have to "give up" OUR OWN HOMELAND- 1900 plus years of murderous pagan devils slaughtering our ancestors, is there ANY reason WHY we should NOT be on the Offense, Defense off the fence and fighting all over, anywhere- everywhere, because we have had ENOUGH....? Jews DO serve in the Military, but the HEART of the JEW IS IN Israel, and you being Jewish SHOULD GET this, Totally- 100%. I am the STRONGEST patriot I myself have even met- my love for America is MY SOUL, however, Israel is MY HEART. Israel is Prophecy that has come to pass. IF we are NOT careful here in America, and turn our backs against the Jews and Israel, we WILL face the Wrath of G-d.  Some people forget, I dont- Ariel sharon, gives up Gaza, shakes Bushs hand- a week later, we get Katrina, and Sharon in a Coma for the remaining of his days. As I stated, we should have a more 'healthy' fear of Gd, and enemies should be AFRAID.
  Also- the kkk, and these other wacko sickos ie: C.I., Stormfuggers, etc.., ARE joining the military by the droves, b/c their wizard freak leaders are telling them to LEARN combat, so they can come back and defeat the Jews in America- THIS..............is the TRUTH.  So, HOW is a Jew even protected in the military? By the left? I DONT THINK SO.
 

You make some excellent points here Paulette and I am aware of the growing anti-semitism too. But if I felt as strongly as you do about
the fate of Jews here, I would pack my bags and be on a plane to Tel Aviv in a NY minute. I don't understand why all the people here
who have expressed their first loyalty to Israel are sitting here complaining about America. Why are they not taking
their place in Israel to ensure that no more Sharons get in office? Why aren't the young ones over there serving in the Israeli military?
Talk is cheap. Israel needs Jews to emigrate there badly. Those who are Jews first and Americans second should be in the country
they love first and foremost.

When I was in Israel many years ago, the question I was asked most often is would I make aliyah to Israel? I might have if I could
have gotten a job there, but I only speak Japanese and the Japanese embassy there didn't need anyone. Many Israelis said to me,
"Americans shouldn't just send money here, they should move here."

So I'm asking, why don't all you Israel first people go to Israel?

 This is a VERY GOOD movie.. People SHOULD see it if you havent. The COMPLETE THREAT of Self-Hating Jews.

horselady, this thread is grotesque. We do not answer Nazi scum who make anti-Semitic allegations. If not for the Jews, America would not be a superpower. The Jews invented America's nuclear weapons, and the Jews also invented most of America's other great technology without which America would not be a major military power.

Your obnoxious Nazi terminology is getting on my nerves: "America first", "Israel first" - this is the language the Nazis use. The "America First" movement were open supporters of Hitler in the 1930s. The Nazis of today like Pat Buchanan and David Duke accuse the Jews of putting "Israel first". You use the same exact terminology and make the same exact Hitlerite allegations.

If you are not a Nazi troll, then you are a self-hating Jew.



I am neither a troll nor a self-hating Jew. The only Jews I hate are liberal Jews. You don't have to tell me the good Jews
have done for this country. But I get a little sick of hearing about how Jews are too good to serve in our military.
I know Jews are not alone in this, there are millions of liberals of every religion and race who feel the same way.
What shocks me is to come to a place where there are no liberal Jews, yet the attitude about the military is the
same as it is with liberal Jews.

Most of the men in my Jewish family have served in the military and are proud of their service to this country.
The OP was written by a Rabbi who made the same observation that Jews from prior generations served
in the military in far greater numbers than they do now. And he was ashamed of that. He in no way downplayed
all the wonderful achievements & contributions Jews have given America, he was only talking about military service
in which their participation has declined substantially from 30 - 40 years ago.

And apparently, he was right, judging by the hateful comments that have been directed at me here for even
mentioning the subject.

This country has been the best country in the world to Jews like me and you. Without this country, I don't think Israel
would have become a state when it did. Israel is one of our best allies but what it does for this country
never gets reported in the press. I spend a lot of time trying to educate ignorant people about all the things that Israel
does that has helped our military, our technology, medicine, and in myriad other areas of our daily lives. No one is
a bigger supporter of Israel than myself. I don't post much here because it is like preaching to the choir.

Unlike many of you, I take on the real Nazis on the internet that like to criticize Jews and Israel all the time.
And I have the ammunition to prove them wrong time and again refuting their hateful rhetoric about Jews
with facts that make them look like the fools they are. There is very little they throw at me that I cannot defend.
The question of Jews in the US Military is one area where I never seem to have a good comeback, other than to
say Jews don't serve in proportionate numbers because most Jews are liberals and liberals don't serve either.

I honestly thought that by posing this question here, I could get some help with my arguments but I guess not.
I thought it was a Jewish tradition for Jews to question everything? I guess that depends on what the question is.

Shame on you for calling me a Nazi. I can't wait to tell my orthodox Jewish uncle that a bunch of Jews consider
me a Nazi.

You should grow like an onion with your head in the ground.   >:(

Post by: cjd on July 27, 2008, 05:48:31 AM
        I think some of what the horselady is saying may be the case. I worked with a few Jewish folks who were old enough to serve in WW2. One guy had been signed up for almost 3+ years and was at Midway Island the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Another fellow I worked with also enlisted  shortly after the 1941 attack. Out of a modest size group  I would say that  was an average or even above average % both were volunteers. The guy who was at Midway went on to serve another 4 years for a total of over 7 years.
       My father is an official at the local VFW and over the years I have met many of the members. I was surprised to learn how many of the WW2 veterans in his club were Jewish. I say surprised because the neighborhood itself does not have a high population of Jewish folks.
        I think the thing today is we have a peace time army that is almost looked on as an occupation. People sign up and until recently it was almost like a 9to5 job. The government provides housing, PX benefits, a modest pay and will pay for education. This is a great opportunity for people who can't pay for education on their own or are having a hard time finding employment in the civilian work world.
         Most people today who immigrated here to America at the same time as Jewish Americans did  are now going on to the third and fourth generations of native born. For the most part people that came here in the late 1800's and early 1900's have done very well  here in America. One only has to look at the demographics here in New York City to see that the immigrants and their descendants are mostly middle class or better when it comes to income. People like this can educate their children to have a profession when they graduate college. The need to enter the military is not what it may have been for this group 40 or 50 years ago. People that can find high paying employment will not look towards the military its just that simple. If a study were to be done today of people enlisting they would find that the numbers are less for all established groups and are shifting to the newer wave of immigrants and folks living in depressed parts of the country where civilian pay and military pay are compatible.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The U.S. government in the 1940's opposed the creation of a Jewish State in what the British called the Palestinian Mandate.

When Israel declared independence in 1948 the U.S. put an arms embargo on the region, yet due to Jewish determination and the grace of Hashem the Jews won.

American aid to Israel has been a poison because the U.S. government seeks to undermine Israeli strength in order to appease the oil-soaked Muslims.

Zelhar,

I have said that what a Jew needs to know is in "Ethics of the Fathers". I have quoted the relevant portions:

Quote
1:10. Shmaayah and Avtalyon received from them. Shmaayah would say: Love work, loath mastery over others, and avoid intimacy with the government.
Quote
2:3.Be careful with the government, for they befriend a person only for their own needs. They appear to be friends when it is beneficial to them, but they do not stand by a person at the time of his distress.
Quote
3:2. Rabbi Chanina, deputy to the kohanim, would say: Pray for the integrity of the government; for were it not for the fear of its authority, a man would swallow his neighbor alive.

3:5. Rabbi Nechunia the son of Hakanah would say: One who accepts upon himself the yoke of Torah is exempted from the yoke of government duties and the yoke of worldly cares; but one who casts off the yoke of Torah is saddled with the yoke of government duties and the yoke of worldly cares.

As you can see the Sages had a feeling that governments are not to be trusted but they are required in order for the peace to be kept. A government should not be too cruel nor should it be too kind. Anyone who seeks holiness should avoid being involved with the government because politics is a dirty business spiritually.

Though not from Pirkie Avos, we learn that Hashem himself often removes the blessing of Free Will from world leaders. In Chumash the story of Pharoah relates that Hashem hardened his heart several times during the Plagues which destroyed his empire.

There is much good wisdom in Pirkie Avot. I have included another couple of pearls...


Quote
3:11. Rabbi Elazar of Modi'in would say: One who profanes the kodoshim ("holy things" consecrated for the service of G-d in the Holy Temple), degrades the Festivals, humiliates his friend in public, abrogates the covenant of our father Abraham (i.e., circumcision), or who interprets the Torah contrary to its true intent---although he may possess Torah knowledge and good deeds, he has no share in the World to Come.

6:1 Rabbi Meir would say: Whoever studies Torah for Torah's sake alone, merits many things; not only that, but [the creation of] the entire world is worthwhile for him alone. He is called friend, beloved, lover of G-d, lover of humanity, rejoicer of G-d, rejoicer of humanity. The Torah enclothes him with humility and awe; makes him fit to be righteous, pious, correct and faithful; distances him from sin and brings him close to merit. From him, people enjoy counsel and wisdom, understanding and power, as is stated (Proverbs 8:14): "Mine are counsel and wisdom, I am understanding, mine is power." The Torah grants him sovereignty, dominion, and jurisprudence. The Torah's secrets are revealed to him, and he becomes as an ever-increasing wellspring and as an unceasing river. He becomes modest, patient and forgiving of insults. The Torah uplifts him and makes him greater than all creations.

Good Afternoon,

Who said Jews are "too good to serve in the military" other than neo-nazis and antisemites?

Secondly, MOST Jews in this country are INTERMARRYING, and so there won't be many Jews left for you to criticize and hate.   It is a terrible tragedy the spiritual holocaust being experienced in the USA, but Jewish values are eroded and Jewish religion was destroyed by reformism.    And the religious Orthodox Jews that will be left in a generation or two, who will make up the majority of USA Jews will likely sooner make aliyah and serve in an Israeli army than volunteer for American because no one OWES it to America to serve in the army.  It's optional.  And the Jewish religious belief puts a big focus on making aliyah, not sticking around in gentile countries.   But don't for a second think that Jews aren't appreciative of America being relatively benign to the Jewish presence in the country unlike countless other brutal hateful repressive regimes throughout history.

I'm sure the Soviet Jews were told to be "patriotic" too....
NO ONE OWES MILITARY SERVICE to the USA.   If they institute a mandatory draft, that's a different story.  Then the people who don't want to serve can leave.   Until then, you have no argument.   Stop accusing Jews.

I am not even sure if patriotism is a good reason in Israel. Soldiers are always being pawned by politicians, who exploit the fact that soldiers must put aside their ideology and follow orders mindlessly.

Anyway, my view is that a Jew shouldn't be an patriotic American; loyal, law abiding for sure, but not patriotic because it is not his country, he/she is just a resident there.

There is a problem of how to define "patriotic."   A Jew can live in America and believe that the nation is full of good people and founded on a good system by righteous gentiles.  But we are not supposed to feel that we are "American of the mosaic faith."  This destroys the meaning of Judaism.  We are Jews.   And no horselady can force anybody to shed their identity.    But unfortunately it's happening on its own....

Patriotism is often used as an excuse to betray a person's own morality.   Which IDF soldier is more patriotic?   The one who refused to follow the immoral order to expel Jews and was thrown in jail for disobeying orders, or the soldier who carried out this evil act under the guise of "following orders" and "loyalty to the govt."     It will depend on your definition of patriotism.   But the first soldier (who disobeyed with the order that was against his conscience and morality) is the righteous one.

 Patriotism is having Love for your country. The young men nowadays dont even know WHAT that is.  In the Military now, it is NOT like the Old time Military and Drill- AT ALL. That they have even had many return to the USA after Iraq and Afghanstan is nothing short of a miracle. the Fem movement is in the Military FULL FORCE. there is NO more: DROP & GIVE ME 50. At this point, UNLESS they change the Military BACK to the way it was- we now have NO business being in a complete and total hostile land, that Our Soldiers are not even trained PROPERLY for.  The REASON FOR the Military is to PROTECT this nation (USA) from Enemies, to fight and WIN wars. If they do NOT train them to fight MORE vicious, UNFORTUNATELY, we will see mangled bodies coming back from Wars.   At this point, they are BETTER OFF going to be Minutemen at the Border- with REAL men, because the SGT MJR in the US Military is a kiss butt to Political powers, and THAT is EXACTLY how they get that rank now.

True--I could be wrong, and I certainly think we should watch her, but we both know I and others have said many careless things on this forum that have been misconstrued.

 You need to go back and look at HER posts toward the "JOOOOOOOOOOOOS" here (as SHE states is 'satirical' on HER blog). Look at what Chaim and Massuh observed. HOW do you know that she is NOT a neo- nazi? EVERY website she posts is in my email inbox, EVERY day, from trolls that David ben Moshe and I battle on a Daily basis, EVERY single argument that SHE brings here- is from "White Pride" A. Jones, St0rmfront, C.I. R. Paul (which BTW, is turning TOTALLY nazi) Vanguard, and MANY of these sites believe that Jews do not even belong in Israel, for ie: jewsagainstzionism.com, which SHE brought to this forum, even ADMITTED that she was on those forums, of COURSE she is POISONED, and cant even see the light of day. If, and I MEAN "if" she IS Jewish, she hates her OWN GUTTS.
  She called Massuh 'disgusting' when he saw EXACTLY what she was saying, and FLAT OUT slighted and IGNORED Chaim when HE confronted her.  There is NO SUCH thing as American First with REAL Jews, OR Real Christians of the different denominations of that faith, it is ALWAYS G-d FIRST, PERIOD.
  One of her FIRST posts was: "I am a Jew, why I am 'anti-semitic?'. ""   That is 100% OXYMORON and CONTRADICTORY, and NO SUCH thing. You go ahead, and hide your head in the sand, but I personally deal with this crap on a daily basis.  I am WITH Chaim and Massuh on this 100%.

I just took a brief look at her blog. I don't know what to make of her. Was she actually banned?

For now, I still lean (as in 51% of me) toward thinking that she is a naive Jew who has gotten in way over her head on some things. I say this because I haven't yet seen many Ron Paul/Pat Buchanan/Joseph Sobran-type Nazis make anti-Islamic blogs with a long list of pro-Israel, right-wing blogrolls. I suppose that this could be an elaborate system of taqqiyah, but why would she go through so much trouble? Tina Greco, Newman, and Kelly Maureen/Scott/Taylor didn't go through this much work to pretend to be on our side (actually, they were pretty blatant about their true colors, from almost day one)--it's just that our retarded chief admin couldn't tell these anuses from his own tuchis.

I'm probably the last person on this forum who wants to give her a little more time to prove herself one way or another, but as of now, that's still how I stand.

  If she is a neo-nazi, we get on the offense and attack HER over and over, day after day, until she is sent packing.  I have seen her blog, SO WHAT?  Who cares. Jew OR not, she COULD learn a lesson in MANNERS, which she does NOT have- and DESERVED any rebukes, and confrontations that came her way.

I too am on the side of giving the benefit of the doubt. I do trust the opinions of several posters here and would hate to see us ganging up on horselady without cause. I too have some questions like the others. It is wrong to say that we have "Dual Loyalties" as most respondents said that they are proud of American, had family which fought for this country, and yet feel the zionistic calling. I am in this category and so is my friend who lost his daughter in Iraq.

The neo-nazis try so hard to come up with ways to attack Jews and our patriotism. I think it is futile because the facts are on our side. Jews have contributed much to the American military.

I didn't see any 'I am a Jew, why I am 'anti-semitic' post from horselady. As far as her posting activity goes on other sites, I haven't seen that either. I can only go by the posts I've personally seen here, and I don't see anything nazi like or anti-semitic in them. I visited her blog about Islam and thought it was pretty good.

You seem to have a personal vendetta against horselady, as evidenced by your sarcastic post in the 'who is behind the new world order' thread, saying "horselady is".

As far as what massuh thinks, I really couldn't give a hoot. Massuh has opened his yapper to me in another thread, falsely accusing me of hating religious people, the bible, Dick Cheney etc. Frankly, massuh doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time, and his opinion carries absolutely no weight with me.

Chaim might not approve of horselady's way of arguing with the anti-semites, and he certainly has entirely different views on whether Jews should serve in the military etc, but that does NOT make horselady a nazi.

I almost always agree with Chaim, but on this matter, I disagree.

I don't know if horselady has been banned, but if she has been, that's totally wrong.

If nik is still here constantly posting bizarre, rambling, incoherent, phone book length conspiracy theories after continual warnings not to do so, and horselady is banned -- then something's really wrong with this place.

I see plenty of fraternization with nik, and animosity to horselady. Honestly, this baffles me. But that's just my opinion.

I hope horselady hasn't been banned. I think she deserves a chance to defend herself and explain her positions.

I have not seen any actual, outright Nazi sentiment from her. Chaim, 99.99% of the time I agree with you on these things, but I think her story makes a certain amount of sense. If indeed she really goes on Nazi sites to debate these monsters, like she says, it is conceivable that she has picked up some of their language.

Then again, it is extremely stupid that she would have anything to do with those e-gehenoms. But--maybe she really thinks she can reason with those Amalek demons.

Chaimfan.

Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Let me refer back to the OP where I posted this letter, the one that got me thinking about the issue of Jews in the military.

Here are a few paragraph from the OP link that I referenced. (Maybe you should re-read the whole OP)

Attention: Where are the Jews in the U.S. military?

Maj. RobLevinson

As an active duty Air Force officer currently stationed overseas, and as a Jew who grew up in the Bay Area, it is gratifying to see the overwhelming support the Bay Area Jewish community is showing for our current efforts to fight terrorism. We in the community, closely connected to Israel as we are, have understood the need to fight terror for a long time. Now, unfortunately, this need has tragically been brought home to all Americans. However, while I take great pride in the support the Jewish community is showing, a certain question keeps gnawing at me: Where are the Jews in the United States military?

Try this experiment at your next synagogue service or other Jewish gathering. Ask all the veterans to stand up. My guess is that the average age will be in the 70s as the proud veterans of World War II represent the majority. Then ask those who have a son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter who is a veteran or serving on active duty to stand up. Finally, ask those who currently know somebody serving on active duty to stand up as well. Sadly my guess is that the groups of people answering yes to the last two questions will be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Unfortunately, while Jews in the United States are over-represented in virtually every profession from law to medicine to science, they are few and far between in the armed forces of our country.....


In response to your question, I do not think that whatever the US has done for Israel is the only reason or the main reason why Jews
should be loyal to the US. I am loyal and patriotic to this country because I love this country, in spite of all its faults. I didn't serve in the military myself, as it didn't seem to be an option for girls at that time. But as I've said, most of the male members of my family, as well as my husband and his family have all served. Maybe I'm naive about the thinking of people on this board concerning country and loyalty.
Admittedly I have never met fellow Jews who believed that Jews are living in the US as a kind of diaspora, waiting until they can get back to the real homeland. I have never even read anything about this kind of thinking.

Frankly, I was shocked to learn that some people here abhor the idea of serving in the military, either ours or Israel's, when it is the
military that has secured our freedoms in both countries. There's an old saying that goes something like, 'Without the second
amendment, you would never have had the first amendment.

I am not an observant Jew but I am a Jew, and have stated so on many forums.

Most of the people on the forums I post on would not want to come here. Then again, I couldn't see myself joining a Catholic or other religious esforum. I mentioned one neo-nazi site I was a member of for a very short time, simply because it was a challenge. But no matter how much historical fact or verifiable evidence I countered their arguments with, they never stopped hating Jews. They don't even hate terrorists as much as they hate Jews. It was an education, nothing more.

The sites I frequent the most now are the Ann Coulter forum and Jihad Chat. They all know I am Jewish and I post only positive things about Israel (except for the current govt) and negative things about Islam. But I berate and insult liberal Jews all the time on these boards, as I have here on the thread entitled, "I am  a Jew. Why I am anti-semitic." I admonish the same liberal Jews that you do.

FYI, I hate Buchanan from way back.

Again, I encourage you to re-read the OP and you'll see where I'm coming from on this issue. It is a fair question. And it
don't mean that Jews haven't contributed to the success of this country in numbers that far exceed their population.
It doesn't mean that I hate Jews, just liberal Jews. It simply means, as the OP stated, very few Jews enlist in the
military today compared to generations before. I never expected to get flamed for asking a legitimate question.

And to those who answered by saying Jews have done a lot of other great stuff for this country, I don't deny that.
But it still doesn't negate the fact that most (not all) Jews are no longer willing to fight for their country, which has
provided the opportunities that allowed them to achieve so much success.

And maybe America hasn't supported Israel in just the way you would have liked, but no other country has been
a better friend to Israel than this one.

amendment, you would never have had the first amendment.

I am not an observant Jew but I am a Jew, and have stated so on many forums.

Most of the people on the forums I post on would not want to come here. Then again, I couldn't see myself joining a Catholic or other religious esforum. I mentioned one neo-nazi site I was a member of for a very short time, simply because it was a challenge. But no matter how much historical fact or verifiable evidence I countered their arguments with, they never stopped hating Jews. They don't even hate terrorists as much as they hate Jews. It was an education, nothing more.

The sites I frequent the most now are the Ann Coulter forum and Jihad Chat. They all know I am Jewish and I post only positive things about Israel (except for the current govt) and negative things about Islam. But I berate and insult liberal Jews all the time on these boards, as I have here on the thread entitled, "I am  a Jew. Why I am anti-semitic." I admonish the same liberal Jews that you do.

FYI, I hate Buchanan from way back.

Again, I encourage you to re-read the OP and you'll see where I'm coming from on this issue. It is a fair question. And it
don't mean that Jews haven't contributed to the success of this country in numbers that far exceed their population.
It doesn't mean that I hate Jews, just liberal Jews. It simply means, as the OP stated, very few Jews enlist in the
military today compared to generations before. I never expected to get flamed for asking a legitimate question.

And to those who answered by saying Jews have done a lot of other great stuff for this country, I don't deny that.
But it still doesn't negate the fact that most (not all) Jews are no longer willing to fight for their country, which has
provided the opportunities that allowed them to achieve so much success.

And maybe America hasn't supported Israel in just the way you would have liked, but no other country has been
a better friend to Israel than this one.




  We ALREADY read this, and you were not so nice to people that DO NOT SHARE you "America FIRST" BS. In the Jewish AND Christian FAITH- IT IS: G-d FIRST, then country. PERIOD.  If you do NOT understand this on an ORTHODOX Jewish Forum, then WHY are you here?

 AND- there ARE, in FACT FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS OF THE US CONGRESS, that are OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH- and the JEWS are the ONEs that YOU are pointing OUT? I might refer you to the OBAMA website- tell US how many of THOSE "Christians" are Serving?
  WHY the DISRESPECT of ONLY Jews? Why do YOU hate YOURSELF that MUCH?  What JEW in YOUR personal Life HURT YOU so bad that you have the A-- at US?

 And whether you like it OR not, what you say- IS what Buchanan IS saying.  I agree with MassuhDGoodName- NO FRIEND of the JEWS makes posts like THIS. HOW MUCH more have you edited? Do YOU THINK FOR ONE MINUTE that I will go to sleep THIS NIGHT in CALI, while YOU are HERE? I WILL STAY with MY FAMILY on THIS forum, I told YOU, I WILL NOT STOP with YOU.

 UNLESS you REPENT to HaShem, for acting TERRIBLY and VICIOUS against MY FRIENDS here- GET LOSTPUBLICLY REPENT.

  You have been NASTY to THIS forum, & MY friends & FAMILY!!! and YOU claim YOU ARE A JEW??!! Well then...YOU ARE ONE MEAN JEW.
