...saw an email that's going around, with a picture of
a GI getting baptized (full immersion), saying that
"in the desert north of Kuwait City Wednesday, March
12, "Eight members of the 3rd Infantry Division were
baptized." I'll send the photo to anybody who'd like
to see it. The religous war aspects of this war are
troubling.

"There were men called 'army chaplains.' They preached
inside some of these buildings. There were actually
soldiers, dead now, who sat or stood, and listened.
Holding on to what they could. Then they went out, and
some died before they got back inside a
garrison-church again. Clergymen, working for the
army, stood up and talked to the men who were going to
die about God, death, nothingness, redemption,
salvation. It really happened. It was quite common."
-Gravity's Rainbow, p. 693
