According to your lamebrain graft there are no Catholics in the US military. Show me on the graft were the word Catholic is mentioned.

I had to post the graph in two sections. For some reason, when using the "review" function, the image (which IS composed of FOUR jpg. files) wouldn't render well enough, for me, but Elsie seemed to have gotten it to post here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3072978/posts?page=1508#1508

LIKE I SAID (if you would have taken the time to actually READ and try to HEAR what I was saying) by the numbers, it appears that "Catholics" make up a bit more than 20% of US military, active duty personnel.

The number of active duty classified as "Catholic" goes into total number of active duty 4.9 times. If it went in an even 4 times, that would represent 25%, would it not? If it was an even 5 times, that would represent 20%, right?

Which means that the claim:

Catholics make up 20-25% of the US population, but 45-50% of the US military.

is far from true. They are not doubly represented, but more like along the lines of percentage of population, if it is safe enough for us to assume that the "Catholics make up 20-25% of the US population" is accurate enough. I won't challenge that part of the statement...

The bottom 3 had in the address p2; p3; p4 and I had assumed that the FIRST page was then called p1.

It wasn’t.

I had to go back to the source and then found it was called page1.

go figger!
