Plenty of it when I was in the Army, whenever we were asked to bow our heads in prayer I kept mine held high. No amount of sky daddy is going to protect us, nor bring our fallen soldiers back to life.

I understood that it was a form of comfort to those who had little, or those who already found comfort within it. Yet I found no such feeling myself, and therefore did not feel obliged to participate.

the entire air force is religiousness to the max. that's the only way one can justify a pilot's evil deeds= forgiveness ! what a crock

I have noticed a LOT of religious stuff and prayer within the army. I have a son who is a new 2nd Lt and a boy at west point. I have not asked them what they think about it. It's a tough enough choice to serve...

I was in the military 1962-1970 with tours in Vietnam as a Corpsman with a Marine infantry. Follow in active duty spent 1970-2005 in National Guard as a Medical Officer. The only "Religious" push was in boot camp. May have been different experiences from WWII and Korea, however, there was No requirement to attend religious services.

And there's nationalism indoctrination within the military too. No one is going to join the military with the expectation of being killed for no glory. So glory is sold to the personnel.

If they get injured and return home however; they'll soon find out what their government really thinks about them.
