DOD No Longer Recognizes Atheists Plus 179 Denominations

The DOD has dropped 180 religions from official recognition, now excluding Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists, and various Wiccans. Moreover, a panel from the House Armed Services Committee approved the expensive, wasteful, and abhorrent scheme to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

How would a Bronze Star hero like atheist Colonel Richard P. Mason be treated by the diabolical Trumpf junta today?

Possibly a greater impact would be on the VA and what they drop from gravestones.
Different leadership, not sure if more rational.

Thanks for that info, Matt.

I am no longer recognized yet I am entitled to a military burial.

I'm gonna look for my old dog tags with its P38 can opener still on them.

The nefarious Trumpf junta creates all of these messes that are both costly and harmful.

How do you identify that isn't included? Ignore if intrusive. There may be a way for a custom medallion to be added to a VA provided headstone. I've seen a few in civilian but not VA cemeteries.

Ignore if intrusive. Let me revise, it is intrusive, but I'm interested.

Not intrusive to a fellow Soldier, Matt.

My symbol is the atom.

I'll most likely choose an Irish wake with lots of booze and laughs and then be cremated.

I hope I have some fun at the wake, though.

"The DOD has dropped 180 religions from official recognition, now excluding Atheists.."

Hey DOD dumbasses.. atheism is not a religion.

And they prefer you not recognize them as such.

So. Thank you?

Hi Marine

SNAFU at the Pentagon. "Situation Normal, All F***ed Up"

BTW: USMC aviation got it's start on little Puerto Rico before WW1.

Will Trump personally desecrate the graves with the disfavored religions on them, at Arlington National Cemetery?

Re 10

Not likely. Way too hard. He would just order the national park service to do it. And fire them if they don't.

But I bet there are a lot of folks eager and just waiting to personally desecrate Trumpy's grave.

But not Satanists.

Satanists have a long history with the Pentagon, though.
