Hey Mike, why fight to make sure Latter-day Saints are included in the Christian club? Why not stand up for everyone excluded from the list? The problem isn't that Mormons were left out. It's that government keeps privileging Christianity in the first place.

So Unitarians and all the Pagan flavors are now lumped in as Other, and one row each for all Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists, but we need 20+ separate Xtian categories including conscientious objectors like Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses, who will never be in the military! WTAF

There are some (tiny number of) Quakers and JWs in the military (or civilian employees of the military), typically in roles where they aren't going to be called on to engage in violence. This was a bigger deal during the draft days (where they may have gotten drafted anyway).

(And if you're wanting an example... The military runs grade schools on bases all over the planet for dependents. You get people with jobs like "kindergarten teacher" technically employed by the military and tracked through their personnel management system.)
