New man: The "In God We Trust" written on currency is about as powerful today as "Chevrolet: Like A Rock." It's a slogan. It could have very well been something else. "In Tuna We Trust" perhaps. Fun fact: Did you know that our national bird could have been the wild turkey instead of a bald eagle?

...

Will: I concur with the 1% part, but not the clusterfuck part. And your article? Okay, so Dan Brown has more material for another best-seller... but what have these dangerous head honchos done aside from spew their rhetoric while fighting a kneejerk war that would have occurred with or without our lord-'n-enslaver Jeebus Christy? A comment on the baptism of 700 soldiers out of the ~1,454,515 on active duty alone... Not Really A Big Deal. And Senior Level Dickheads using their uniform inappropriately at nutty functions? Often a result of dedicating your entire life to a military command existence. Power junkies. They don't know how to take the uniform off because their personal identity and military service have become one and the same.

For all that are pushing it... I'm really not seeing the evil here.

Also: If someone dickhead junior enlisted guy puts a "Jeebus Killed Moho" sign on the side of his vehicle... it's the team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant, platoon leader and unit commander's fault if it doesn't get taken down immediately. This isn't a climate of religious douchebaggery, it's just an example of bad leadership in general. I've seen this kinda stuff before and someone with +1 on their collar fixes it right quick.

Hell, most of the brass over yonder wouldn't let me fly the 3'x5' pirate flag on my MPCV because they felt it was unprofessional.
