What do you get when you combine the wingnutty goodness of the erosion of the separation of church and state with the tempting taste of the military-industrial complex?
Hey, you got your religion in my military!
No, you got your military in my religion!
WaPo's Alan Cooperman:
A military watchdog group is asking the Defense Department to investigate whether seven Army and Air Force officers violated regulations by appearing in uniform in a promotional video for an evangelical Christian organization.
In the video, much of which was filmed inside the Pentagon, four generals and three colonels praise the Christian Embassy, a group that evangelizes among military leaders, politicians and diplomats in Washington. Some of the officers describe their efforts to spread their faith within the military.
Yikes! But is it wrong?
Well, as we know from six years under this "administration," it depends whose side you're on. The watchdog requesting the inquiry sent a letter that:
cites Defense Department regulations barring personnel from appearing in uniform in "speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration . . . which may imply Service sanction of the cause for which the demonstration or activity is conducted."
All the officers are identified in the video by their Defense Department positions, "yet the video failed to include any disclaimers indicating that the views expressed were not those of the Department of Defense," the letter says.

So tell me - what is the aroma of Christ? What exactly does He smell like?
You are Jews right?
I'd appreciate a link for donations if you can provide one somewhere.
