America's Army Losing Able Soldiers Do to Bigotry

Not only has the American military lost over 10,000 soldiers to its discrimination against gays, it is now losing atheists as well. You would think during a time of war that you would try to keep you soldier on board, especially high value people like Arab linguists (Of which they have lost close to a third to internal discrimination). This is rank stupidity and is hurting the nations ability to fight. This quote below is from an atheist soldier. His full story is here.

This only further confirms that the problem of bigotry towards atheists in the Army is a systemic one. The Army not only looks the other way when officers and supposed leaders disparage soldiers because they lack a belief in the supernatural, the Army systematically ignores formal EO complaints by atheists and refuses to enforce its own regulations. Now, being the efficient machine it is, the Army is training its EO reps to ignore legitimate EO complaints by atheists at the lowest possible level. I am so glad I submitted my resignation as an officer. The Army has disgraced itself by protecting bigots and allowing unlawful discrimination to continue.

Digg!
