f you mean different by not having to say the god part then OK I agree but both religious and nonreligious took the same oath with one omitting the "so help me god" part.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
The story is from Al Jazeera and it quotes the original story from American Humanist Org . The CLAIM is that he couldn't reenlist without saying 'so help me God'. That's absurd. There is an oath that the military can take that is without God in it. It's used all the time. Looks to me like Al Jazeera jumped on a hoaky story and I have a hard time believing 'American Humanist Org'.
Creech AFB where this allegedly happened
There has been no statement from the supposed (and unnamed) airman and no statement from the Air Force Base.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
