That is a pretty arrogant cult that says we send our men on two year recruiting tours and that is as good as them serving your nation. If it is so important to teach their males to be door to door salesman can’t they also enlist afterward?

You pay a great disservice to the thousands of LDS service men and women who fought, and died, for their country.

Utah sent more than 70,000 troops to fight in the Second World War, from a total state population of 550,000.

...and no, I'm not LDS.

Read the thread and see the context. How many LDS women fought died in our service in WWII?

I couldn’t find the LDS statistics at that link I only saw the numbers for the state of Utah.

I am especially curious about where you got the numbers on the number of LDS women that died fighting for us in WWII, can you share that link with me?
