Your post is the most insulting thing I have read in a long time here. I signed up for the Marines when I was 18 years old, back in 1996. At that time, I knew that someday I might be called to war. If you do not want to go to war do not join the military. If you don't mind going to war, but don't want to fight Muslim countries, don't join the military. If you are already in the military, but don't want to fight in a Muslim country, well, tough shit. Your only way out is refusing to go and then an other than honorable discharge.

By the way, first and foremost, the military is not here to attend to the "special needs" of individual groups. Everyone has to go through the same ordeals. That is where the camaraderie is formed. In the Marine Corps, it is mission accomplishment first, then troop welfare.

Also, who are you to tell Muslims in the military how THEY need to be treated? Yup, that is what they want, some white man telling them that they need special treatment. Please, give that shit a break. The only thing Muslims in the military need is to be treated equally. They should be neither targeted for, nor given extra assistance due to their religion.
