Over 550,000 Jews served in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II. About 11,000 were killed and over 40,000 were wounded. There were two recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor, 157 received the Distinguished Service Medal and Crosses, which included Navy Crosses, and 1,600 were awarded the Silver Star. About 50,242 other decorations, citations and awards were given to Jewish heroes for a total of 52,000 decorations. Jews were **3.3 percent** of the total American population but they were **4.23 percent** of the Armed Forces. About **60 percent** of all Jewish physicians in the United States under 45 years of age were in service uniforms. From [Florida Atlantic University](http://www.fau.edu/library/br095.htm). Since those sorts of statistics aren’t kept in any sort of reliable way today, it’s hard to estimate how many Jews there are currently serving in the US military, but I figure the 29 Jewish chaplains they’ve got stationed around the world have to be serving _somebody_. ---

If the jews hate Ted Turner, who isn’t jewish, then why did Rick Sanchez get fired from CNN which is run by Ted Turner? The recently fired head of CNN, who was widely seen to be Rick Sanchez’s protector, was Jewish. If it wasn’t for that guy, Sanchez would have been axed long ago. ---

I dunno, it’s hard to beat **Captain Midnight’s** argument ‘I’m a bigot so Sanchez is right!’ Which dovetails nicely with ‘it’s all Jon Stewart’s fault for being a Jew and forcing Sanchez to stick his foot in his mouth.’ ---

That was the way I took it. North east eastablishment liberals. But then, I’m having a hard time seeing anti-Jewish bigotry in America , because I just don’t see any evidence or “reason” for it . I like both these guys, but there’s no doubt who among the two can claim any membership in an oppressed minority. CNN carried Beck’s bullshit for several years, so I wonder why they responded so quickly to this little kuffuffle. ---

I feel sad for Sanchez. he seemed to be low key presenter of the news. He blew a good gig by revealing who he is. On his show he referred to Stewart as "he who will not be named’. It struck me as a bit odd. I thought he was reacting with humor in response to Jon. I guess not. ---

The sad thing is that there really are lots of people like CM out there. They usually keep their hatefull, ignorant bullshit to themselves but they could easily be one of your coworkers or acquaintances. It’s really depressing. With all of the information so freely and easily available these days, people still choose ignorance. It must give them comfort to have some sort of excuse as to why they are such failures. ---
