Yeah, I'd like to be around for that conversation. Perhaps he should
travel to Israel and ask someone in the military. :-)

Plains Indians believed that the way someone thought about or saw anything said
more about him than his opinion said about the subject. That is obviously true
in our case. You see a perjorative where I see a compliment. Why do you think
ascribing something to Jews (or anybody ese) is perjorative whilst I see the
same thing as complimentary? Do you think that calling someone a Jew denegrates
that person? Do you think ascribing a skill to a cultural group denegrates
them? I do not.
