SK>JB>BK> JB> Correct.  He quit and went home.

SK>JB>BK>  Which is in no way inferior to those who never served at all.

SK>JB>Sure it is.  He made a promise to God and his country and broke
SK>JB>it.  

SK>Promise to God?

Yes

SK>Don't think so, boy.

Boy ?  Name calling now ?


SK>Here is what _I_ swore to (and the "So help me God" part is but a 
SK>request for help for one's OWN higher power (if they have one), not a
SK>promise. And it's considered "secular" just as A.A. is considered 
SK>secular when speaking of a "higher power".)

The military isn't A.A. 


SK>"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
SK>defend  the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
SK>foreign and  domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to
SK>the same; and  that I will obey the orders of the President of the
SK>United States and  the orders of the officers appointed over me,
SK>according to regulations  and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
SK>So help me God." (Title 10, US  Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the
SK>wording first adopted in 1789,  with amendment effective 5 October
SK>1962).

Which part of "So help me God" alludes you ?  English is a tough 
language.
