One Nation under god

[abaris]

I also think it must be very insulting how many people including the author seems to paint soldiers as these bastions of faith.

I saw this picture before and it would be pure kitsch if it wasn't for the underlying message.

As for the soldiers, consider what they called the Great War. My grandfather served in the Austro Hungarian army on the Eastern front. He was jewish, but what little of him I remember, never in any way religious. Yet they had their field rabbis, their field curates and even muslim preachers for their Bosnian units. The other side had the same lineup and every side believed to be right. Yet none of them was.

It's ludicrous, there's no other way to describe it.
