    That made me chuckle!

    As for military arms at religious observances, I wouldn't call it the norm in America. I've never seen it, and I grew up as a preacher's kid. In my experience, military weddings or funerals do the religious ceremony inside the church, and any military rituals are done afterwards (such as the newlywed sendoff or the graveside service). My father and both grandfathers were buried with military honors, and no weapons were brought into the churches. Just my experience, though.
