Illinois state law requires that "The Pledge of Allegiance shall be recited each school day by pupils in elementary and secondary educational institutions supported or maintained in whole or in part by public funds."

The Supreme Court ruled that mandatory recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was unconstitutional in 1943 in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. This decision upheld the First Amendment rights of students, allowing them to refuse participation in the pledge based on freedom of speech and religion. However, students can still choose to recite the pledge voluntarily in schools.

Uniform military are not required to say the pledge of allegiance. They are required to stand at attention and (if outdoors) salute. Uniformed military may choose to recite the pledge if they are in a mostly civilian group and not participating in any formation or ceremony, but even still it is not required.
Some do. But they aren't required to for two reasons: 1) No politician will benefit from it. 2) It's a waste of time.
