Yes there are Muslims in the military, and they are patriots as well as soldiers. The Muslim members in the military are given time for prayers, and have religious leaders part of the Military Religious services. The military did get a Fatwa, that says military members should follow the orders of their leaders, and will not be condemned if it includes fighting other Muslims deemed enemies of the state. This was a very touchy subject during operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm, that the U.S. military asked muslim scholars for advice and for the Fatwa.

No they are probably not, but there are not that many Muslim soldiers...if you have never been in the military you would not know that, at least, the Army is very Christian. We pray to God before everything we do anything...not many atheists either...(Remember the saying, "...there are no atheists in foxholes..." There was that one Muslim soldier that is, i think, going to be executed for throwing a few grenades in a bomb shelter...they beat the hell out of him, he is lucky, they should have put two in his head on the spot....

Not at all! Not all Muslims are bad. It's those Muslims that want to use their religious beliefs to kill innocent people to try, and force their agendas.

No one in their right mind would believe such an outrageous generalization as that.
Of course they are not.

yes, i believe they are. If they are true to their religion,than they are inherently what we would call a terrorist.
i am an atheist as well, and i would be one in a foxhole as well, and a soldier. Not everyone in the military is religious.

They aren't. And I can't say I think too highly of those who would say that they are.
