The stunner: Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a devout Muslim who reportedly made references to “Allah” during his shooting massacre at Fort Hood, apparently did not list a religious preference in his military personnel records.

I tell you I didn’t understand the no religious preference/not listing a preference at first, but then after reading some articles I found that this was not uncommon — not to say that’s it’s done a lot, because I did not find that in my research.

I’m assuming people of faith (various) can choose this option for their own reasons.

A military person would have to verify that.
