Screen Out Religious Fanatics?

What with the current massacre of soldiers at Ft. Hood by an apparent religous fanatic, should the US military perhaps have a litmus test for entry, screening out those whose faith overrides their devotion to country? Discuss.

Remember, though, what you are asking:



So, do we need loyalty oaths from our devoutly religious military members? Let's have a poll:

Should Devoutly Religious People Be Screened Out of the Military?
Yes. They Must Be Able To Put Their Country First.
No. It Violates The Constitution.
Yes, If It's Only Used On Muslims.

And then who do we screen out when that doesn't keep everyone 100% safe?

Do we screen for political leanings or philosophical ideology?

The military already takes an oath. That is enough.

How many people did Becket kill before they lopped off his head? And when did we start killing muslims in the U.S, for being "troublesome"
