re how to pray, etc.

[David Morris]

As long as the US isn't so stupid as to try to convert Iraqis to Xianity, how
could anyone object to the military doing its best to serve the religious needs
of servicemen?  Get a life, Doug.

reasons to protest the war without fabricating a religious one. Enough already
with the Christian stuff -- of *course* some soldiers are Christians, of course
some ministries will ask them to pray, and so on. It's hardly like it's part of
the official rhetoric, nor do you see it all that much in interviews. I think
this is quite alarmist.
