Sorry bro, that ain't the truth. I have just as many Muslim Chaplians and other faiths as I have Christian. The Military is not a Christian movement.

Where is your supporting facts?

I posted some in the very first article. You may have missed that. It also came to light there were religion hazing incidents, as well as Christianity being taught and encouraged, to Air Force Academy recruits in Colorado Springs.

The facts are right under your nose, you just refuse to look at them. Read the original story, you might learn something

No, I use real life to understand the Military use of Religion. Lesson #1 at recently completed Chaplin's assistant school in Ft. Jackson:
Pluralism is our byword. Accept it of leave........

It is akin to Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene in which the lord of castle states, "Let's not bicker about who killed who. This is a festive occasion!", after Sir Lancelot slaughters dozens of members of a wedding party.


The left, due to policy established by Stalin and the Frankfurt School, has targeted Christianity as an impediment to the spread of socialism. As dutiful "useful idiots", leftists have incorporated thier anti-Christian views into thier "core values" with little examination of how this happened or the origins of "their thoughts". They only "know" that Christianity is "bad" and have limited intellectual capacity to examine exactly why and how Christianity is "bad". The exercise of leftist Christian hate has all the academic credence of primitive man engaging in a conversation about theoretic physics- there may be alot of action, but little substance.

Traditional elements of evil in the past have always sought allies in the past in thier "war" against Christianity. The Nazis embraced Islamic forces (there were two Muslim SS divisions) as a foil against Christianity, much in the same way the modern left uses Isalm as an ally against Christianity today. When one is examining a political or ethical positon, it is often instructive to examinie the character of the elements that support the same view. In this case, many of the recognized villians of history and absolute evil forces have shared opposition against Christianity. The left, by thier association, is in the good company of the forces of evil and should be happy to carry that banner.

So after all that typing and all this response, you never even once addressed the subject of the article.

How do you feel about US soldiers saying that Jesus killed Mohammad as a means to provoke a firefight?
