That's great, nothing bad has ever happened when Germany starts taking a tougher stand on immigrants who don't blend in with their society...

The Jews though were never a culture that blended into to other cultures very well. I don't know why that is, not a Jewish historian but even in the US, despite a large Jewish population not many Jews serve in the US military for example. Even their own country, it's a theocracy. It raises one religion above all others. There is some multi-culturalism but not much. It's a nation state of Jewish people and they don't deny it. Not a nation state of people.
My god, where do you live? Wanker county?

I spent a couple decades in the military and seldom ran across any Jews. They didn't start offering Kosher MRE's until the 90's I know that much. I ran into more Mormons than Jews and there are less Mormons in the US than Jews. You can call me a wanker though all you want. Those are from my experiences from over 20 years and also from factual data so meh. Take it or leave it.

The 90s were almost 40 years ago. Even so, I don't doubt that there are less Jewish ppl per capita in the military, than some other backgrounds.
I'm not Jewish, but I married into a family who were.
I would suggest to you that the biggest reason for there being less Jews in the military is substantially explained by the fact that Jewish families stress education, and values that give young ppl choices when they join the adult world.
Not to paint with a broad brush, but many enlist because they have limited choices. There are also many who do so out of patriotism.
To illustrate my point, there are nearly as many black women, as white women in the military. There are way more black Americans in the military than their population percentage would indicate.
I'm not trying to make this a racial thing at all, but the reality is the primary thing that drives ppl to join the armed forces is not sense of duty, rather lack of viable options. For many, it's a way out of a bad situation.

Please... don’t insult wankers.
Lol
It wasn't a slight of the "act".
Is was a reference to a fictional place from "Married With Children", where everyone was backward and inbred.

I retired in 2014. I seldom ran across any Jews. And saying they value education more ok, then why do Jews have to serve in the military in Israel. That is their own rule in their own country so I'm not buying that at all. I believe it's two years mandatory service. They take it very seriously. In the US though are you saying they are above military service? Too good for it. The Mormons don't think so and there are less of them in the US. I ran into Mormons all the time in the military.

Not saying they are "above it" in any way. I was just pointing out that the makeup of the US military is not, necessarily, a reflection of population diversity. Are you saying ppl of color are more "patriotic" due to the fact that their numbers in the military exceed their population percentage?
It is also irrelevant to compare a country with mandatory conscription to the US.
The Israelis are not in a position to do otherwise. They exist in a world where they are surrounded by enemies, who would prefer to exterminate them.
I can only conclude that some little Jewish boy stole your lunch money as a child, and you hold a grudge.
I do thank you for your service to your country though, even if we don't see eye to eye on the issue.

I totally get they have to defend Israel. All I'm saying is Jewish American Soldiers are quite a rarity. You would think it would be the opposite. The US lost a lot of what you call poorly educated enlisted dummies saving them. Think they would be grateful for that fact and more would join as a show of appreciation.
