You're using specific incidents, such as Catholic-priest-touchy-no-no-spot, Palin, and Prez Reagan to color a whole institution.
It doesn't work like that. Down the street from here there is a Lutheran church full of retired nobodies that enjoy singing songs.

It's easy to go back and forth based on our own experiences and beliefs. Nobody is offering up any facts, statistics, etc. It's conjecture pong. Yay.
Based on my limited experience serving in the US military... religion is pretty impotent today amongst the ranks of those that fill US sandbags.
The biggest disconnect between this thread and reality is that most serving in the military realize that is often just a job and not an adventure.
