I’m sure we are all aware how eagerly our Zeidas ran to enlist in the Russian Army as soon as they received a draft notice from His Majesty the Czar, the great and magnificent leader of the Russian people. It was with such utter joy that Yidden would become proud Russian soldiers.
Surely no Jew dodged the draft. Why, that would be most unpatriotic and against dina d’malchusa.
Of course we must not forget our brethren who proudly served the Kaiser in the Great War. When the Nazis took power in Germany, these fine Yidden would proudly display their Iron Cross earned for great valor and service to the motherland. The arriving SS Officer, undoubtedly, would sob and reminisce with the German Jewish war hero and give him a friendly pat on the back before moving on.
