Summary The authors argue that an urgent leadership issue has arisen which is strongly, but not favorably, influencing our professional culture -- a hostility toward religion and its correct expressions within the military. Setting aside the role of Chaplains as a separate issue, the focus here is on the role religion may play in the moral character of individual soldiers -- especially leaders -- and how their personal morality, faith-based or not, is to be integrated with their profession's ethic so they can serve in all cases "without reservation" as their oath requires.
