I read this to my husband and he was amused. Not likely
Its military jargon. Not a drop of religion.

The military doesn't care if you're exhausted, they keep you marching!
What military?
This is a tall statement, for anyone genuinely interested in finding JBR's killer. Anything alone can be a real clue.
Its not a 'done deal' that RDI. In fact, RDI has been capitulating on more than one issue lately. (college word of the day not found in the RN: capitulating)

yes,just as the bible found open correlates with the letters in the RN signature.This is a tall statement, for anyone genuinely interested in finding JBR's killer. Anything alone can be a real clue.

What war? (Lot of vets in my family.)
It seems I left out yet another warlike expression.
...so don't think that killing will be difficult.
Man that RN is loaded with war stuff, huh?
You will be denied [the] remains for proper burial.
Or how about
...but not the country that it serves
..small foreign faction
Many, many expressions in the ransom note are easily placed in some kind of war or military context.
Sure, if you have a big enough hammer you can beat anything into the "milityary jargon" shape.
IMO not one thing in the note identifies the person as having served - or not served- in the military. (And I served a bit more than 12 years, in 3 different branches, so I have some familiarity with military jargon)
How about "Listen" ? Officers are always telling the troops to listen up. Yeah, had to be someone with a military background.
For Chrishope, Google hits:
military tactics - 947000
military remains - 17,900,000 (wow)
military countermeasures - 895,000
military victory - 1,110,000
military killing - 555,000
military "remains for a proper burial" exact expression - 80 ("... family members so that they could return the remains for a proper burial. ... to track down other "missing families" of deceased military personnel. ...")
military "countermeasures and tactics" exact expression - 601 (One of the highest priorities for intelligence support to military ... a basis for the development of effective countermeasures and tactics to protect US ...)
military "listen carefully" exact expression - 164,000 ("In military court you must listen carefully to the proceedings")
military "safe and unharmed" exact expression - 7950 ( ... we are glad that our service personnel return safe and unharmed from their ...)
Yep, military jargon. No hammer needed.
You gave me google hits, but not your search terms. Unless those were your search terms. Nothing about "proper burial" is unique to military jargon. It comes up a lot in google because there will have been a lot of news stories about soldiers remains. It doesn't show that the terms are military jargon. I can still see the hammer marks.
