Buddhists in the United States military

Buddhists make up a small percentage of the United States military, with a 2009 article stating that only 5,287 of 1.4 million military personnel identified themselves as Buddhists.〔Jeff Brady. (''Military Buddhist Chapel Represents Tolerance'' ). National Public Radio, October 13, 2009〕
As Buddhism is a generally pacifistic religion, people have commented on the apparent dischord between the religion and military service; a Buddhist program leader at the United States Air Force Academy stated in an interview: "The questions of Buddhism are the questions of life and death. So, where else would you want Buddhism than right there where those questions are most vivid?"〔
==History==
Among the earliest Buddhists to serve in number in the US military were the Nisei Japanese Americans. A 1944 service for 50 soldiers at Fort Snelling is believed to be the first Buddhist service ever delivered in an army installation in the United States. A majority of Nisei troops were Buddhist, one estimate states half the Nisei troops of the 442nd Infantry Regiment and the Military Intelligence Service, and many Nissei linguists serving in the MIS had studied Japanese at Buddhist-run schools in the United States.〔 However, Nisei units such as the 442nd were only permitted Christian chaplains; Assistant Secretary of Defense John J. McCloy feared that negative American perceptions of Buddhists would compromise the reputation of the unit.
Following World War II, the denotation "B" for Buddhist became an allowed option on American dog-tags.
