I just found out that the 3 most elite units of the U.S military all have patron saints.
The Rangers- St. Andrew
The Green Berets- St. Phillips
The Navy SEALs- St. Michael
Just thought that was really cool
Must drive the anti-"christian military" people insane

OK, gotcha.
They'd love my job then. I work for a US govt defense contractor on a naval base. When we have our periodic safety luncheons, our boss prays over the meal. He even uses Jesus' name at the end.
Ssh, don't tell anyone.
