Atheist Soldiers Demand to Be Recognized - Newsweek Periscope - MSNBC.com: "Aug. 21-28, 2006 issue - There are no atheists in foxholes,' the old saw goes. The line, attributed to a WWII chaplain, has since been uttered countless times by grunts, chaplains and news anchors. But an increasingly vocal group of activists and soldiers—atheist soldiers—disagrees. 'It's a denial of our contributions,' says Master Sgt. Kathleen Johnson, who founded the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers and who will be deployed to Iraq this fall. 'A lot of people manage to serve without having to call on a higher power. . .'"
God bless them, and God will bless them far more than the typical chickenhawk, whose professions of faith are often shrouded with the pall of "no action," falling into the category of "all hat and no cattle." Hmmm... that seems familiar.
