..but hook is too long. Suggest ALT2: that Joshua L. Goldberg (pictured) was the first rabbi to serve as a WWII U.S. Navy Chaplain? -- Chesdovi (talk) 12:11, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

No problem with ALT2 except that Goldberg's background is *so* unusual that I would hope that something of that "unusualness" could be included.... What about ALT3: that Joshua L. Goldberg (pictured), the first rabbi to serve as a World War II U.S. Navy Chaplain, first fought in the Russian army? NearTheZoo (talk) 12:49, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Howabout ALT4: that Joshua L. Goldberg (pictured), the first rabbi to serve as a World War II U.S. Navy Chaplain, deserted the the Russian army during WWI?

Or ALT5: that Joshua L. Goldberg (pictured), the first rabbi to serve as a World War II U.S. Navy Chaplain, was a Russian army deserter? -- Chesdovi (talk) 15:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Either one sounds great to me! I'd support the one you like better! Thanks very much. NearTheZoo (talk) 22:33, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

ALT5 good to go. Chesdovi (talk) 11:45, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
