I am disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. They are breaking the rule.

They say it is about giving gifts. Then their Chaplain says with a clenched fist - 'that's our business".

ARE THEY SOLDIERS OR EVANGELICAL PROSELYTIZING DECEIVING CHEATERS?

I can't tell you how angry I am.

I am writing my Senators and Representive.

3. It means two things - these people are joining the military to serve the church/belief/radical self?
The DOD is allowing this in order to get more soldiers?

5. Who paid for the translation?
Who paid for the printing?
Who paid for the transportation?

Separation of church and state?
Separation of church and military?

This is taking the role of Chaplain to an ungodly end.

THIS IS A MAJOR and ESSENTIAL REASON TO GET THE HECK OUT OF AFGANISTAN?

LET THEM GET A VISA TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

WAKE UP POOR VULNERABLE LAW ABUSING-SOLDIERS.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

WHY ARE YOU BREAKING A LAW?

THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY TO CONVERT.

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.

9. Yes. Good point. Right emphasis. We are so arrogant and ferocious. We are a country

heavily loaded down with people who don't know how to respect other people on our planet.

They don't believe sharing is a good idea. They want to rule and control. That makes them partners to the barons. Rule and control.

Most of those Afghani's would be gracious and accept that book. I would like to see them refuse it.

Why do we think our versions of Christianity are superior? Because the ones peddling and pushing it believe they are superior.

Who gave this permission?

These proselytizers are creeping in to every depth of our lives.
