[quote:Anonymous Coward 773680:MV84ODg3NDVfMTM3NDgwNjJfRTFFRDI3MkI=] [quote:DSP] I'm in the military and this sort of shit makes me sick. It's ridiculous. it sure is!!! I wonder how you can even think about staying in the military! By the way, you sure read extremely fast, the article is very long, and the videos and all that... amazing! Yeah, I'm a very fast reader. It isn't just muslims' throats they're shoving religion down, it's also the people in the military. Sure, they aren't being overtly christian anymore, but it's still monotheistic as fuck. Every official ceremony opens with an invocation by a chaplain, which calls upon God for a blessing. Spirituality is heavily encouraged by the DoD and Air Force. Everything in the military is centered around religion. [/quote] And this comes as a surprise to you? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Remember? In God We Trust? One Nation under God? You act is if that is some new concept being forced down your throat. [/quote]

10 Ways the U.S. Military Has Shoved Christianity Down Muslims' Throats
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation was founded in 2005 by Mikey Weinstein, a U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and Reagan administration White House counsel, after the harassment his own sons faced as Jewish cadets at the academy led him to discover that the fundamentalist Christian takeover of the Air Force Academy was far from an isolated problem.
It was a militarywide issue that needed to be confronted head on. But it quickly became apparent that MRFF's initial mission of protecting the rights of our men and women in uniform was only addressing part of the problem.
The evangelizing and proselytizing of Iraqi and Afghan Muslims by private religious organizations and U.S. military personnel also had to be exposed and stopped -- particularly the materials and media available via the Internet and television that could be used by Islamic extremists as propaganda for recruiting purposes....
Top Ten Ways to Convince the Muslims We're On a Crusade
10. Have top U.S. military officers, Defense Department officials and politicians say we're in a religious war.
9. Have top U.S. military officers appear in a video showing just how Christian the Pentagon is.
8. Plant crosses in Muslim lands and make sure they're big enough to be visible from really far away.
7. Paint crosses and Christian messages on military vehicles and drive them through Iraq.
