From the site:

I’m a bit furious about a mandatory survey that I just took. The survey, Soldier Fitness Tracker (SFT), measures individual soldier’s competency in four areas: Emotional, Social, Family, and Spiritual. As a foxhole atheist, I was a little annoyed at first, but I’ve learned that I’ve really got to pick my battles on some issues. This quickly turned into one of those issues. According to the SFT, I’m unfit to serve in the U.S. Army because I’m a non-believer.

This is about dumb. My husband is an unwavering atheist, and he is a stellar Marine. (I’m not just saying that cause I’m his wife. He’s got the creditials to prove it.) Can we waste time and money studying things that are actually relevant to military service??

Kinda makes sense to me. You don’t have any reason to think that some divine entity made you right and them wrong, yet you’re still willing to kill other people because some crazy dude who does think that told you to? I wouldn’t have you in my army either ;)
