And why do you insist that they are “made up” when you offer nothing of your own? The 40% is quite consistent with the demographics of the time. Combat arms drew heavily on an urban population that was heavily Catholic, and a population that, relative to the Protestants and Jews was underschooled. It had little to do with any superior patriotism, and every thing to do with the draft which was straining to supply the 90 divisions that were required to fight a world war at the same time as huge industrial force. It seems that this threatens the nativism that you spout, a prejudice that can be traced back to the late 16th Century when Britain became a Protestant state, a prejudicr that survives the dechristianization of that country. The figure represents assertion like that of the undeniable one that notes the high representation of Southerners in the military in the voluntary army.

You really are not all there, you can’t just create fake statistics, and then BS them into factual reality.

You have proven that you are detached from reality.

You are just trolling now.
