Hey all-
I have searched using the search button here on PS.com as well as ran some BOOLEAN searches through google (ex. site
rofessionalsoldiers.com jew AND military AND in) for this question but it has led to me starting a thread.
Religion has been discussed in these forums as it relates to conflict between warring nations but I have yet to see it being discussed on a local level within the SF community. There have been talks of the "sexually confused" to women's rights on the battlefield (wait, what rights.. the IDF did a great test study integrating women on the front lines and revealed what we all probably knew) but my question is still left unanswered. Enough with the verbosity (read: circumlocution) and here is my question.
Have you found that conflicting religious views within the community or ODA has interfered with your ability to work as a team? Has there even been much religious diversity? I ask this as I am in a minority religion, Judaism, and after talking with people's opinions in the military, it doesn't matter how great I am on paper, the fact remains that I am Jewish and they see that as a problem. When searching PS I learned of somebody named "Super Jew" who I could only assume to be Jewish but what have been your experiences. I was nominated to the USAFA but was forced to deny the nomination due to a very large Jewish conflict that occurred there and my father wouldn't let me go - on top of the fact that he hates the military and my desire to serve.
Sorry for the long post. I appreciate anybody's willingness to respond.
Best
Morgan
