"Under god" whatever... IMHO, the Pledge of Allegiance is trite and meaningless.
It's a vow. It should make you tremble in your shoes when you say it.
Maybe the veterans around here can recall what they felt like when they said this, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Both times I did it, my legs shook and my heart pounded. I knew what it meant to say the words.
The pledge... kids say it every day without truly understanding the weight of the words they are using. IMHO, they shouldn't be saying it at all, "under God" or otherwise.
