Hello and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Hello from sunny and beautiful North Carolina.
I'd just like to say that with all the elements currently in this thread that I'm the daughter of an ex Army Ranger (settled now as a gov't lawyer) who was also deployed in various places all over the world in his life, the last being Kuwait when I was in 6th grade, and he thought it was great until he had a family. When he had to do a few things like training down in FL, he used to fuck with the other guys by making sounds like alligators do - that deep gulping noise. To this day, he has a stuffed baby alligator that he kept as a pet until it died (or my grandmother killed it, depending on who you ask). This was also the man who would drive after roadrunners during tank training.
In other words, I think you military peeps are a strange lot.
I didn't realize that religion was such a big deal with the DoD though. On the other hand, I hear a lot of stories coming from the female end of military things like chaplains telling female officers to 'pray' about the fact that they were raped, etc. Weird ass shit.

Yes, we are a strange lot. The US Military is overall deeply religious and Republican. There are few Atheist, but very few are out of the closet. It is depending on the tone the command sets. Yes, I had a chaplin try to convert me after my failed surgery. It does happen.
