Considering it is from one of the most reliable, most credible news organizations ever created...

I wish they had a MEGA for this one. The Huffington Post, really, Jerry Falwell was a better source of facts and perspective...

Well, the video linked on their site isn't produced by Huffington, FWIW.

From the same report:
Quote:
She said the bibles were never distributed. "That specific case involved a soldier who brought in a donation of translated bibles that were sent to his personal address by his home church. He showed them to the group and the chaplain explained that he cannot distribute them," she said. "The translated bibles were never distributed as far as we know, because the soldier understood that if he distributed them he would be in violation of general order 1, and he would be subject to punishment."

That video was sickening, I closed it half way through.

These are supposed to be "professional" soldiers, not professional evangelists. The Army should pack up that chaplain and send him back to the US to face a courts martial.

The chaplain said that this is what he felt Christians should do--but that U.S. Army personnel could not. What more do you want?

At the least, for him to be relieved of his duties in Afghanistan and shipped home.

This crusader style missionary work is putting not only the mission (if there really is one) at risk, but it's also putting our own troops in more jeopardy.

Except he told the troops NOT to proselytize the Afghanis.

Ahhh...after watching yesterday's clip above and reading today's article below, I was trying to think of something clever to express how I feel. But where do you begin?
