And we all remember the problem we had during World War 2 because American Lutherans did not want to fight in Germany and American Catholics did not want to fight in Italy.

Of course not...but a better model, in terms of the religious fanaticism of the enemy would be the Japanese. We did exercise enough caution to send the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and other Japanese American units to Italy, not the pacific, and send them with mostly non Nipponese officers. Of course, they did well. They did very well indeed.

Trouble is, all of today's hot wars are against Muslims, albeit with Muslim allies. I guess they could hold the line in Korea, but the South Koreans might blanch at the notion of all Muslim units deployed to their country.
