If our government is secular, why is our military blatantly religious? I'm fine with the people in military being predominately religious, statistically it makes sense, but when it moved beyond a personal philosophy and becomes part of why they fight, we cease to be a nonreligious republic and become a theocratic empire.
A lot of people are surprised when they find out that the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan think that we're fighting a religious war. "Why would they think something silly like that?" Because it's true. As a religious fundamentalist, each and every one of George W. Bush's decisions was infected with his insane worldview. We have ten thousand little George W. Bush's (without rich parents, though), complete fools that are motivated by their own hateful ignorance covered in the guise of religion, over there spreading the "good word" by further enraging the peoples we've invaded. The worst part is the religious moderates are afraid to stop them because they can't always tell who the crazy ones are.
Gays should be allowed in the military. Religious fundamentalists should not.
