It’s likely that more Jews (large Sephardic community) fought the British in the American Revolution than Catholics. From the first federal census of 1790, Catholics comprised only about 6/10ths of a percent (0.6%) of the population of the thirteen original colonies (about 25,000 out of 3,939,000).
The number, 25,000 (Catholics), is from John Carroll (bishop), 1785.

What in the world does that have to do with the fact that Jews don’t much go for military service?
Going from Obama being President to a tiny Catholic population in 1790 is bizarre.
If we restrict the discussion to post-WW2, and particularly the Vietnam era and later, there is NOT a trend for Jews to join the military in excess to their population percent. My opinion is that a population segment which disproportionately identifies with the Left seems less likely to join a military which, after WW2, was engaged in fighting Communist and Leftist regimes.
I’ve refuted his lies over-and-over, but like shoa-deniers, he just ignores facts.
Just some random color:
The Revolutionary War would have been lost but for George Washington’s friend Haym Solomon.
Commodore Uriah P. Levy compltely raised hell with the Brits in 1812.
The Confederate Secretary of War was Judah Philip Benjamin.
The 82nd Illinois (made famous in the Battle of Gettysburg) was comprised primarily of Jewish soldiers and led by Gen. Edward Selig Salomon, a Jew. He had two horses shot out from under him. Jewish blood was no small part of what made Gettysburg “hallowed ground.”
Hyman G. Rickover needs no introduction.
Admiral Jeremy Michael Boorda -— only Chief of Navel Operations to have risen to the position from the enlisted ranks. (He dropped out of HS and joined the Navy at 17.)
Etc.
