I don't understand. What are they going to meet about?

I would think the whole benefit of not believing would be the ability to sleep in on Sunday morning and not have to go to meetings.

They could just discharge them from the service, to enjoy their specialness in civilian life.

Atheist soldiers? Nothing new, no big deal.

Filing papers to get special recognition? The soldiers are, I suspect, being used.

Someone who hates the military (and America) is likely behind this.

Who, one wonders?

Obviously not combat soldiers. If they were they would not be athiest. A better idea would be to change their MOS to combat ready. There that fixes the problem.

Yet another difference between the US Army and the US Marine Corps.

This sort of thing would get your ass kicked in the 'Corps.

This is not a criticism, just an acknowledgement that the US Army is traditionally made up of citizen soldiers. Namely, where the draftees go in times of conscription.

I personally believe that there ought to be a broader tolerance in the US Army of these fundamental freedoms, meaning that the US Army is where the atheists and Wiccans and homosexuals who choose to serve their country belong, in addition to the average Joe and Jane from Main Street USA. The US Army was originally intended to be comprised mainly of regional brigades assembled from the average citizen at least minimally fit for military service.

Understand clearly, however, this 'minimally-fit' criteria has no place in the Marine Corps.

Wha ...?

What’s to discuss if you have no beliefs? Sports? Weather?

Jason Torpy is the president of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers.

Gotta love the dig they take at those outside their own religion.

work with the Army's chaplains and have their gatherings listed in a bulletin of religious services.

Uh... you're atheists. You have no "religious services."

Maybe I am different but being on the receiving end of hostile fire in Iraq strengthened my belief in God which has not diminished since coming home. I expect to get some fire from atheist over this but so what.

When the Military decided there was more than Protestant ,Catholic, Jew-or nothing at all—NOW the freakin inmates is running the assylum Next thing you know Shariah Law will be the topic of interest for our Military Courts-”why —According to allah “Everybody must get stoned”

This is just another part of the DADT bull**** timebomb getting ready to go off and destroy our military. If it is important for these maggots to be recognized as being a bunch of godless bastards, this old dogface feels they should go look somewhere else to find that recognition. Try the Nobel committee. I’m sure the military will survive without them being in the racks. I’d be willing to bet a dollar to a donut that 99.9% of this crowd are homosexuals and pedophiles anyway. Flame away!

Meeting?? What do they want to meet about—nothing? Sounds like they want a religious service to me.

They want to work with the chaplains???? Chaplains are clergymen who by definition are religious. What stupidity.

Groups that go around demanding “recognition” piss me off. They’re all attention whores.
