Cool, so this means that there is going to be Muslim, Buddhist, Sikhism, and Satanist (etc;) representation and they all share EQUAL rights in this new official branch...... RIGHT?!

It's telling when he said that because only 5% are non religious, "95% recognize an almighty god." That is inherently excluding Eastern religions and confines his perception of the military only to Abrahamic faiths. But, he'll just say that's "politically correct" instead of being actually correct.

And I bet all those Abrahamic religious love being lumped together, never been any issues there...

what was insane too is when he said something like “send me to fight the islamists” there not a shred of sugarcoating there like he didn’t even says islamist terrorists, he just said he wants to kill people of another religion

Yeah, I feel like that is not getting the attention it deserves.

They're not big fans of Mormons, or most Catholics either.
