JUNCTION CITY, Kan. — Like hundreds of young men joining the Army in recent years, Jeremy Hall professes a desire to serve his country while it fights terrorism.

But the short and soft-spoken specialist is at the center of a legal controversy. He has filed a lawsuit alleging he’s been harassed and his constitutional rights have been violated because he doesn’t believe in God. The suit names Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

“I’m not in it for cash,” Hall said. “I want no one else to go what I went through.”

Known as “the atheist guy,” Hall has been called immoral, a devil worshipper and _ just as severe to some soldiers_ gay, none of which, he says, is true. Hall even drove fellow soldiers to church in Iraq and paused while they prayed before meals.

Of course, you can only be a “good soldier” when you’re a relifag… This poor chum was harassed by his brothers in arms, and eventually his superiors told him they couldn’t protect him (from the harassment), and sent him back to the US. The problems don’t seem to end there, though:

He believes his promotion to sergeant has been blocked because of his lawsuit, but he is a team leader responsible for two junior enlisted soldiers.

[...]

Hall said he enjoys being a team leader but has been told that having faith would make him a better leader.

Uncle Sam wants YOU. Unless you’re a filthy, gay, terrorist atheist.
