This paper argues there is hostility within the US military towards religious expression by its personnel. It argues that this stems from an urgent leadership issue that is strongly, but not favorably, influencing its professional culture. The authors look at the role religion may play in the moral character of individual soldiers, and especially in leaders, and how their personal morality, faith-based or not, can be integrated with their profession's ethic so they can serve in all cases "without reservation".
