Wiccans and Pagans in the United States military
Wiccans and Pagans in the United States military have since the close 20th century experienced a gradual increase in official recognition. The Wiccan pentacle is now an approved emblem for gravestones under the Veterans Administration, achieved in 2007 following legal action regarding the grave of Wiccan soldier Patrick Stewart. In 2011, the United States Air Force Academy dedicated an $80,000 "outdoor worship center" for "Earth-based religions" such as paganism, traditional Native American Religions, etc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Air Force Academy adapts to pagans, druids, witches and Wiccans )〕 As of 2015, there is no provision for official recognition of Wiccan or Pagan chaplains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Plight of Pagans in the Military )〕
A broadly neutral depiction of Wicca for a military audience is found in the 1990 version of the Department of the Army's ''Religious Requirements and Practices of Certain Selected Groups: A Handbook for Chaplains''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US ARMY CHAPLAIN'S HANDBOOK: EXCERPT ON WICCA )〕
==Demographics==
The Navy and Army do not track numbers for Wiccans and Pagans, but a 2007 Pentagon count showed over 1,500 self-identified Wiccans in the Air Force and 350 in the Marines. Pagan advocates in 2012 estimated the military's total pagan population at 10,000-20,000, noting that some adherents may not list their affiliation on official forms, and that in the past "No Preference" or "Other" were the only applicable labels available.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Plight of Pagans in the Military )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Wiccan Army chaplain? The brass wouldn’t buy it )〕
The Los Angeles times noted in 2011 that only 3 of the Air Force Academy's 4,300 cadets identified as pagans.〔
