A watchdog group that promotes religious freedom in the U.S. military accused senior officers on Monday using their rank and influence to coerce soldiers and airmen into adopting evangelical Christianity.
Such proselytizing, according to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has created a core of "radical" Christians within the U.S. armed forces and Pentagon who punish those who do not accept evangelical beliefs by stalling their careers.

That's disgusting. If Christianity actually had any merit, it wouldn't have to be forced on people. They wouldn't have to use the government to force their religion on people, or indoctrinate children, or try to remove all other expressions of religion from the country, or bribe with charity on the condition of conversion, or bribe prisoners with easier parole on condition of conversion, or, as in this case, use positions of power to force their religion on others.

Great. (That was sarcasm) All we need is more people in the military who can't think for themselves, and therefore can't step in and tell someone to stop when they are.....oh say raping a 14 year old civilian and killing her family for no reason. I'm sure that will do wonders for this war.
