Back in the 70s, I knew a guy that was kicked out of the Air Force ROTC at our university because of being a member of one of these “earth-based religions.” He was totally into the military as far as having good attitude and bearing but they still bounced him.
The worm has turned...
I’ve seen sorry bastages play the military for all they could get on training, then claim they refuse to serve on religious grounds.
They pulled their weight back on shore, doing logistics, that is the only reason they weren’t gone.
Anyone that wants “special treatment” needs to go.
