The Pledge. When joining the military, one is given the option of saying "under God."

Really? Since when? I enlisted in the Navy exactly 3 months after 9/11 and went on terminal leave 31 JAN 2007. Never were we ever informed of an option of saying "under God." It would be strange, considering the last 4 words of the swearing in ceremony are "so help me God."

You are correct. It is the phrase "so help me God" that one does not have to say when joining the military.

The phrase "so help me God" is also optional for immigrants who wish to become US citizens.
