I was wondering how many military people we have on here. I joined the military back in 97. I wouldn't call myself oldschool, but things back then were different than they are now. People say that they shouldn't be forced to stand there while a prayer is being said to "in God's name". Well, as far as the Air Force is concerned, "God's name" is whatever got you believe in. Not a certain God. Shoot, if you pray to the money god, then that's it. I have NEVER heard anyone force any kind of religion upon any military member. I think this guy is just trying to find a reason to complain. ALSO, when you join the military, you give up some of your rights. You cannot compare civilian life to military life. When I went to boot camp, I was yelled at, I was cursed at, I was made to do things that I didn't like or what to. But I did them, because those were the rules. That's what I signed up for. I didn't like the yelling and the making fun of. Why should this guy get away with hearing something he doesn't like and get away with it? Man up! The military isn't the Cub Scouts, it's the military. If your feelings get hurt over others praying, then maybe you should join http://www.redhatsociety.com/. If they were praying a muslim prayer, I would stand there, for respect of everyone around me. But then again, not everyone is as considerate as I am. Certainly not the guy who got upset about a prayer being said.
