Jewish Americans have served disproportionately to any other ethnic group in the military of the USA since the Revolutionary War.

The DoD survey on religious diversity in the US military has 1.09% of military servicemembers listing "Jewish" as their religious preference, versus 1.7% in the general population (Pew survey in the same table).

Maybe I read that wrong, but apples-to-apples (Pew defense to Pew overall population), it looks like 1.7% and 1.7%.

There were higher percentages of Jews in proportion to their population percentages in the US military forces in most wars than others. On contemporary participation in the armed forces, I wouldn’t join now, either. I won’t even buy enough products or services to generate much in the way of revenues for this polytheistic debt regime.
