::You are absolutely right - how fascinating. I erroneously believed that a soldier had to choose one of the faith group codes ([http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/773054m_vol2.pdf p. 12]), but the U.S. military doesn't touch this can of worms - how very wise. When I was in the ''Bundeswehr'', there were only a few abbreviations for the dog tags, ''ev'' (protestant) ''rk'' (roman catholic) two of them. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 09:47, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

:::[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] Would you name the page on [[Protestantism]] "Heretical Christian sects" or "Crybabies who think they know better than the Holy Spirit" just because others might have those "different" views?  Would you call the page on the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] "Schismatic Christian sects" or "Crybabies who don't want to listen to the pope"?  Would you name the page on [[African Americans]] with the n-word?  No?  Then there is equally no reason to add "Roman" to the name of the page on the Catholic Church—it's an epithet, whether most people alive today are aware of its history or not.  [[User:Crusadestudent|Deus vult!  ~Crusadestudent]] ([[User talk:Crusadestudent|talk]]) 19:30, 31 May 2016 (EDT)
