Sam,

Perhaps another joke with clarify…or perhaps not.

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Texan and a Mexican are on a plane that is going down. There is only one parachute.

The Englishman throws himself out the door yelling, “Long live the Queen!” The Frenchman does likewise, while yelling, “Viva la France!”

Deeply moved, the Texan throws the Mexican out the window, yelling, “Remember the Alamo!”

OK. I just had the preconceived idea that Israel was also in WW III fighting radical Islam.

I understand your confusion now, Sam. The war will be against China. World War Three will pit America against China, according to the joke.

When the officer asks how we could ever win, the answer implies that we should find a way of having the Jews fight for us.

hahahaha, that's really funny!!  Except that at Alamo time, a Texan was a Mexican.

Sam, as I understand it, the joke is that the officer thinks the General is saying it's the Jews that are the key to winning the war, not the quality of the fighting force over the quantity. He doesn't understand that the Jews are simply an example. I didn't think it was that funny. Some jokes grab you; this one didn't.

It was my mistake in not reading the joke closely enough. I missed the pertinent point about WW III being with China and not with radical Islam as I have heard in the media.

Mildly funny.

I love this joke—told it about a dozen times now.
