>>>>>>>>There are other laws that may come into play. For example, it's illegal for a regular business fires someone (same thing as discharged from the military), because they are pregnant. Unless there are specific laws that allow the military or government to bypass that law, they could be opening up a can of worms.

Even so, for most of my time, I didn't wear a uniform and they didn't tell me what to do, because they didn't really know what I did!

>Knowledge may not be the best word here. You know you are one of my favorite people on the UT but I don't quite get your antipathy toward Muslims. I honestly do believe most of them (99+%?) are peaceful. Nothing in the Koran says go out and slaughter those who disagree with you. This does not deny that a certain number are indeed zealots, terrorists. A recent story in the NY Times documents that there are still more Islamic terrorists in the U.S. than any of us should be comfortable with. But you're still painting with a pretty broad brush.

Having your head in the sand doesn't change the truth.
