This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
For fuck's sake.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I don't mind the third verse of our song because it's just an old tradition, but recruitment posters like that are  wrong to me. The army is a multicultural organization that accommodates people of all religions, not a crusading Christian band of Templars.

When you think about it, plenty of mainstream religions have a single deity at their head, especially Judaism and Islam. I don't see it as relating to one specific religion

Except for the point that the government and public institutions are supposed to be secular...

so it leaves out possible polytheists/atheists/whathaveyou in favor of monotheists? While I acknowledge that the proportion of monotheists is astronomically greater it still doesn't seem right.

It is, in a philosophical manner, but the poster doesn't directly relate to one religion is where I'm getting at. If you want to be technical on things, the Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religious beliefs , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." so in technicality, this poster doesn't violate the Constitution. It only would if their was small print saying you had to be a certain religion to join

And what I'm getting at, is that it refers to anything religious at all.

I'm not "le fedora anti christian" bullshit. No reference to God or gods belongs anywhere on that sign.

I thought this retarded devotion died off in WW1. Back then for Europe it was "King and country". Is this an ad for the south? It seems like something this dumb would be there.

See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
Why does our military even need to advertise. Obama is shrinking the military drastically and even then we still have a shit ton of reserves.

Yeah....being an atheist in the military is not great.
Seems like things are slowly getting better tho. They're a few years behind the rest of the country.

I live in an Army town, and I know a lot of Rangers, current and former.

This attitude is almost universal among those guys.

I see a lot of "infidel" bumper stickers, too.

This may come as a surprise to some of you guys, but soldiers are usually pretty ignorant, simple-minded guys. There are obviously exceptions, but grunts are, generally, not very smart. This goes all the way to the top-tier special forces guys as well, if any of you are familiar with the Chris Kyle/Jesse Ventura spat.

A good portion, maybe even the majority, of the Army sees our involvement in the middle east as a holy war, a new crusade against islam. I've spoken to some vets, including my former scoutmaster, and they all had very disturbing things to say about muslims.

The Army itself may try to present a face of multicultural secularism as a way to bring in recruits, but it is very much a christian-controlled institution, with all of the discrimination and favoritism that entails.

I'm sure, if God wants something done, he isn't gonna turn to the United States military to do it.

Let's be honest here.

In other news, the Pope recently condemned waging war in the name of God.

Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree with you. This kind of attitude in the Guard though seems to be restricted to the old guys who were active duty first.

Crusades mk2, been obvious all along. Instead of the Templars you have the US military, and instead of the church organising it's NATO
