Military doesn’t respect Christians – and more letters to the editors

Military doesn’t respect Christians

Christians in the military are being persecuted for their beliefs.

The Marines were told to stop supporting Operation Christmas Child – Franklin Grams outreach to poor children because it was Christian. Christian prayers were banned at military funerals.

In 2011 Walter Reed Military Hospital baned Bibles and “religious materials from being given to soldiers. In March 2012 the Army labeled Evangelicals and Catholics as “extremist” along with the KKK and Al-Qaeda. Obama objects to the Flemming Amendment which would protect religious freedoms for soldiers.

Recently at Camp Shelby Mississippi, soldiers were told that the American Family Association and the Family Research Council, both evangelical in their beliefs were considered “hate groups” lumped with Neo-Nazi’s and the KKK. Fort Hood Texas soldiers were told that the tea party and pro-life groups were “a threat to America” and anyone who supported such groups would be punished. Sargent William Monks was relieved of duty because he believes in the Biblical view of marriage.

What is a Christian to do?
