As a retired Army spouse, and a former member of the Catholic Parish, I find the whole thing somewhat absurd, if understandable. As a nolonger catholic or beliver in any of the book religions, and a person who is somewhat annoyed/amused when forced to stand thru prayers at any formal military dinner. (And they do invoke the name of Jesus, they just include Allah and Jehova as well.) I wish they would simply do away with the whole thing unless they were at a service or a funeral and it was requested by the family.

Not that they will. When do we get to form a country based on REAL religious freedom, as in freedom FROM religion? I'd move there...and make sure that NO missionaries were ever allowed in!
