Thoughts?
These same soldiers who claim to value the words of the founders and Thomas Jefferson would not elect Jefferson if he ran today considering what he said about religion.
Not to mention Pat Tilman served and died as an atheist and gave up an NFL career to do so. And at the Unitarian Church I used to attend I knew a WW2 vet and a Vietnam vet who were both atheists.
And what part of "NO RELIGIOUS TEST' in the United States oath of office do they not understand?
If they want to serve for only a religious military, we had that, it was called the Dark Ages. And if they want a current example, the Middle East is ripe with entire country's with military bent on defending Allah.
When the founders said "freedom of religion" they did not mean use military to defend a pecking order.
