The phrase accuses atheists of being either liars (they actually DO think there is a God, and reveal this when under great stress) or cowards (will flee from foxholes.) It's incredibly insulting.

Other than that, I agree that DADT and the rules against homosexuals being in the military should be repealed. (Is that the right word?) I'm sure some of the people I served with in the Navy were gay, though for obvious reasons, they didn't out themselves.
