For some cadets at West Point, Jewish life is shelter in a storm

"Thankfully the Jewish cadets outnumber them."

They do. Closest number I could come up with was half a dozen or so Muslims in one class. Point is that West Point does not discriminate on the basis of religion. In that, it reflects our nation's Constitutional blindness to religion.

Since there are only, maybe, 5 million Muslims in the USA, that's a pretty good showing at West Point. Probably fairly proportional.

I don't think Gen. Abrams was Jewish.
