[What a load of rubbish. The chances of the Iraqi's managing to kidnap one of the 15 Jews of the British army would be like 10 million to one-ed]
LONDON – The British Army has allowed its Jewish soldiers involved in the war in Iraq to erase mention of their religion on their dog-tags, fearing they would be executed if they were captured. There are some 15 Jewish soldiers among the 45,000 British fighters currently in action in the U.S.-led campaign.
The British Ministry of Defense made the decision following concerns expressed by Jewish community leaders in Britain. The ministry added that kosher rations had been provided to those Jewish soldiers who requested them.
During the 1991 Gulf War, the Iraqis would beat and parade prisoners in front of the television cameras, and the British military fears that Jewish prisoners would come in for a worse fate.
