Good point. I know more than a few Christian men who will not be re-enlisting at the end of their current tours. I believe this is intentional. Christians will recognize illegal orders. Sodomites and pagans are far less likely to do so.
When I read about military guys being disciplined for not openly embracing gays and/or stating their religious beliefs it does not instill confidence that the mission of our military is any longer to defend our constitution.
