For example: When I was in Iraq, we often had Iraqi workers come onto the post for work. One day, I was walking by three workers as they were eating, and these two soldiers were just snickering, watching them. I stopped for a closer look (yes, I guess I was being nosy) and saw that the soldiers had given the Iraqi's MRE's-- pork-chow-mein MRE's, in fact, and had not enlightened the Muslims on the fact. I lunged forward and grabbed one of the MRE's, sending noodles and pork bits flying everywhere, while the two soldiers just LAUGHED at the whole thing.
I told the Iraqis what they were eating, which maybe I shouldn't have, because they were horrified-- almost to the point of tears-- that they had been eating pork.
Has anyone else seen this sort of utter degrade for another persons personal beliefs?
