Why After WWII Do Jews Hold the Lowest Enlistment Rates In The Military?

Question

The absolute lowest enlistment rate for Officers and /or NCOs of any socio-ethnic-economic group in America is held by the Jews!

One/eight of one percent being Jews in all of the combined military Branches!

Speaks volumes!!!

Ever wonder why?

The blood of American men and women seems to mostly pour from the viens of the Goyam spilled in the Middle East!

This conflict, make NO mistake, is ALL about Israels Right to exist!

So just where are all the American Jews these days? Some say mostly on Wall Street and in Kosher Valley (Hollywood)?

Logic dictates there should be lines forming around the block with guys named Finklestein and Goldberg itching for a scrap begging to enlist...but where are they, hiding out in the covert Woody Allen brigade?

The statistic cited herein is kept by the Senate Armed Forces Committee.

Records and stats re: this very fact have been kept since WWII for the purpose of
Troop assignment: i.e. "Italian-American" troops bi-lingual were sent to serve in Pattons Third Army and used in the invasion of Sicily, many Japanese American troops were sent to the European Theatre etc.

Answer 1

That's all very interesting information. I put that on my "learned something new" list. Well presented!

Answer 2

Generally the military is sought out by people of low economic status. It is a wonderful vehicle to get a college education. It has been a long standing tradition in the Jewish community to get atleast a Bachelor's Degree so that is one reason why it is rare to have Jewish enlisted soldiers. (Believe me, at birth the college fund is started if not by the parents then by the Grandparents or the Uncle or the 2nd cousin twice removed!)

Really orthodox Jews have many religious prohibitions that make army service almost impossible. I mean what would a Kosher Jew eat in the Army? Even Israel has problems with this since the Army's view of Kosher doesn't measure up to some of the ultra Orthodox Jew's views of what it means. They have to let soldiers pack their own food if they want!

Our conflicts in the Middle East are due to the Jihadist's views that none of us should exist! Believe me if Israel goes, Europe is next, and then us. I really do believe it is best to fight it out over there rather then over here where it would be my children getting bombed on their buses etc. I have a 16 yr. old son and I have little doubt that he is thinking about military service. I will be proud to send him to Iraq. His Dad went there for the Gulf War and still believes it is the right thing to do.

We live in an American city full of Jews and Muslims. Believe me 99% of those Jews are the most patriotic people I've ever seen. They love our country and they help it every day. They are the happiest tax payers I've ever seen! They realize how great this country is and do what all Americans should do--use their skills to the utmost to promote a strong economy and civic structure. It would be a waste to have a CPA on the battlefront when he could be doing the work to make sure the Army is getting all the money it deserves.

Answer 3

if you look at different statistics you will find that Jews,have a higher level of educational attainment than your average American. most people join the military because a) they want to get an education, b) they want adventure, c) there is no alternative work where they live. i bet if you look at the make up of the army you will notice that the number of recruits from the rural south is way out of proportion to the actual population of the U.S..does that make urban northerners less patriotic? also you will find that the proportion of black people in the military represents the greatest number as a percentage of the population, are black people more patriotic than whites? go to the WWI and WWII grave yards in Belgium and Northern France, you will see a good number of Jewish names. its an economic and cultural thing, not a conspiracy. when both secular and religious Jews are needed to really fight for America they will be there.

Answer 4

Just and observation...In Israel, national military service is compulsory for Jewish and Druze men, and Jewish women, over the age of 18.

Answer 5

Many Jews who have an interest in the military have moved to Israel and are in the IDF.

Answer 6

I don't know who reported that, but I would think the Amish and Quakers have the lowest rate.

Answer 7

well must people who sign to the army are people from low economic back ground, as u might have notice must jews fighting to be the best of the best, in business, medicine, thechnology, and well, a lot of that things the american army use is stuff that was develop by a jewish mind, so, who really care?

Answer 8

I guess they're hiding out in the Dick Cheney brigade. He's jewish by the way and frankly I don't care.

Are you kidding?

Answer 9

back your statistics with what percentage of the population are jews . ..and what exactly is your point? people in general who dont enlist, should?

Answer 10

Anti semitism to the fore again.
