...graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Where they were harassed and called "Christ-Killers," among other loving Xian terms. From Wiki:

It is naturally of great personal consequence that Curtis's and Casey's encounters with religious bigotry occurred at the Academy, which is where I first encountered it as well. Of course, from a historical perspective, Jews have always had the unfortunate role of scapegoat thrust upon them.

But I'm under no illusions that what happened to my Jewish sons and my Christian daughter-in-law could not have happened to the son of a patriotic American Muslim or Buddhist or agnostic or atheist. I wouldn't be surprised if it already had.

You can see Weinstein talking about this in the 2007 documentary "Constantine's Sword." Definitely worth a watch.
