Atheists in Foxholes

[abaris]

You check your rifle, you check your sights,check your water, hope that the indirect is dialed in (when you have it), and maybe, just maybe, you wonder whether or not the great god AGM is hovering overhead for epic justice!  Failing, that, perhaps one of his lesser angels....

You know, looking at pictures from WWI and WWII, I always find it kinda bizarre to see the priests on either side doing their show.  One side had to lose, even though god's ground personal prayed to the same deity for a win or a survival, which probably is the more important aspect for a grunt.

My granddad fought in the Austro/Hungarian army and they had it all covered. Priests, Pastors, Rabbis and Imams. The Russians on the other side also had the whole setup and they both lost.
