You would be surprised by the number of very religious people in SF. I should add that to the diversity I saw on my team...Catholics, Protestants, atheists, etc...

LTG Boykin would be the highest ranking I know of the top of my head, but there are plenty throughout the ranks.

In the bible, there are a number of positive references to soldiers. The profession calls for one to be willing to lay his life down for another.

On a related note, one of the Rangers involved in the Somalia mission depicted in Blackhawk Down became an Army Chaplain on active duty.
