They do not look like they're underfire to me. Or do you not know what a fox hole is? Those guys look like they work 'in the rear with the gear' where people can still afford to deny God. (Note the big High wall behind them and the gate.) Again a base is not a fox hole.
Way to take it literally. I am sure you need a picture of them holding up such a sign while in the middle of battle, right? Cuz that's realistic.
By the way, the soldiers are wearing the shoulder insignia of the Big Red 1. 1st Infantry Division. Which is NOT a support or clerical unit...it is an INFANTRY Division, as in, deployed into active combat zones. Being behind walls, inside a base, is where they typically are stationed in urban operations when not out on patrol or combat operations.
My brother is a an O-3 (Captain) in the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Battalion. He has completed several additional combat training schools, including Jumpmaster, Military Freefall (AKA HALO/HAHO), Pathfinding, Level C SERE, combat demolitions, Special Operations Diver... He's been serving since late 2002 in active warzones across Iraq and currently Afghanistan. He's battle-scarred and suffering from PTSD from constant combat.
And he's an atheist.
And so was my father...who was ALSO a Captain in the US Army Rangers who served during the Persian Gulf War.
So why don't you do me, and my brother, and the memory of my father a favor, and shut the fuck up before you insult my intelligence and their service any further, huh?
