Onward Christian Soldiers

According to CNN, the mingling of church and state in the U.S. military is going to court.

A soldier who lost his religion while serving in Iraq was not only passed over for promotions because of his lack of religion, his life was threatened -- by his compatriots, the very people who are supposed to be defending a Constitution that guarantees freedom of religion!

What would happen to the U.S. forces in Iraq, not to mention Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and all the other Muslim states where we have military bases, if they knew just how parochial and (pardon the pun) militaristic our armed forces' forced Christianity is?

Another reason to impeach Bush? Well, yes -- because unless this situation is stopped, reversed, and its progenitors imprisoned for violating the Constitutional rights of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, we are doomed.
