This seems to me that this is clearly unconstitutional according to art. VI cl. 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Since the military is clearly a federally controlled entity, mandating that a service member to say "So help me God" as part of his oath, it amounts to a religious test to hold office. I'm not saying that I, as an agnostic, am against the oath generally. But dismissing a service member who is unwilling to say "So help me God" is clearly a violation of his constitutional rights. We're heading down a slippery slope by instituting this policy./rwa
