Is Your Jewish Identity Not as Important as Your American Right Wing Identity?

After Emory you decided to join the Marines if you could tell sort of what made you choose Marines. My grandfather was a Marine during World War II he fought in the Pacific and he actually got shot in the head at Iwo Jima. Was your Jewish identity not as important as your American right wing identity? You know who knows if I if I had stayed in that world maybe at some point I would have headed over to Israel and lived in a settlement somewhere.
