Jeff Sharlet, author of the article “Jesus killed Mohammed: The crusade for a Christian military,” discusses the widespread Christian fundamentalist evangelism among U.S. military officers, how a soldier’s perception of a war on Islam in Iraq trumps politically correct Bush and Obama administration rhetoric, the process behind the influx of intolerant evangelical military chaplains and Christianity’s usurpation of the Constitution at premier military academies.

The elites of this world (Rothschilds, Rockefellers etc.) are working on eliminating all religions and replacing them with a "one world religion" for everyone. It's unfortunate most people are unable to recognize that it's these very people responsible for stirring up hatred between the world religions in order to fullfill their agenda. By the way, the one world religion they plan on instituting for everyone to follow knowingly or unknowly is satanic.

Not exactly a news flash.  The military has probably always had chaplains and every large base has multiple churches.

Frightening that the War of Religion isn't only triggered from the extremist Muslims, but also from Christian zealots on the opposing side.

U see very very few catholic chaplains. Most are Protestant and to an extent evangelicals. There are plenty of religious officers. I generally stay away from them as every other word out of my mouth is FUCK. This was a war for strategic control of land and oil with the benefit of making US interests safe. Any bullshit about it being a crusade is ridiculous. If certain people felt thats what they were doing as part of OIF or OEF, they were wrong.

Its been a problem when a guy gave out religious coins, that made there way outside the wire. Whats overlooked about chaplains and such is this: for the large majority of Imams and sheiks in the villages and towns, the fact that Americans aren't godless heathens, makes them happy. Many of these guys work closely with our chaplains on humanitarian issues on a daily basis. They can relate to them and alot of good work gets done. None of which is reported by any media. Now some of the douchebags will come back and say its wrong or its a crusade..to which I reply..what unit and rotation were u in?.....yeah

What's the big deal? It was the elites of the world that gave us the various "religions" in the first place,
...so if they want to take them back, or destroy them, ...they're welcome to do it.

What about the bullshit artists who claim it was a war about WMD's, ...that Saddam had to go because he was a threat to American lives, that he was responsible for 911 etc.,? You know, ...all the bullshit you used to spew?
