Onward Christian Soldiers...


From First Draft, yet another instance of sheer out-of-control evangelical lunacy. People who hold sincere religious beliefs, REGARDLESS of what they may be--Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Daoist, Pagan, Wiccan--I repeat, REGARDLESS--should be outraged.

I've got nothing against soldiers holding or expressing religious belief--but they've got no business trying to force it upon others, be they friend, foe, or civilian. If nothing else, the more than just a little bit coercive element of war makes a mockery of any "success" anyway.

Sad to say, though, I'm not really surprised: as the public at large turns a blind eye towards civic duty, you can expect extremists to fill the void...
