I thought I knew about our darkest hour by following the torture of Moslems in U.S. prisons. I read plenty of threads in DU and followed through to the linked articles. I told myself I was not going to turn away, that I had to know what my country was doing..

I just saw Taxi to the Dark Side. There is a constant, recurring image that is not possible to pick up by looking at still photos. It is the image that some in our military, contractors, FBI, CIA, especially our brass arranged. The image of Christ on the cross – arms extended up with a nearly collapsed torso and legs failing.

I can no longer look at a crucifix without associating it with what we have done because we wanted to remove able bodied Moslems from the streets and imprison some of them for the rest of their lives.

I have always been offended by Americans who boast about our superiority over the rest of the people on this earth. Some of them boasted physically, mentally, spiritually, psychologically, pathologically, criminally and by ordering and permitting it.

We are an inferior nation because only an infitisimal number of people in this country are talking about it, talking against it, doing anything in a targeted way.

Our country is obsessed with control and brutality. The prisons are waiting.

1. We aren't an "inferior nation" and we aren't "obsessed"
   
We're 300 million individuals many of whom are very compassionate.

There are no inferior or superior nations or people. We're all just human. We screw up equally but in different ways.

6. Strange isn't it, that the Air Force Academy seems to be run by born-agains?
   
From all - and I do mean all - reports the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs has become just one great Christian revival camp with General-wannabes vieing for chief evangelical.

Since you are from a bunch who mock every spiritual teaching He had and from one that can`t bring themselves to say Christian I care little about how you wish to use Him for political purposes.
When you wish to talk about His work on the cross and what that means to sinful man I will discuss His teachings regarding earthly conducts.

And if true that would be a problem how?

2. What would Jesus do?
   Somehow, I think his own personal EXPERIENCE might incline him against heinous, amoral, inhumane and "anti-Christian" torture. Not that republicon homelander give a damn what Christ really taught...

I suspect He would have a word or two about islam that claims Him as a prophet.

Yeah people who study the bible really have no clue what Jesus taught.

So did the OP make any sense to anyone else?  Cause it most certainly baffled the hell out of me.

Does the U.S. Military hate Jesus Christ?

Idiot. 

PSALM:23


The Lord is my ashepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I awalk through the bvalley of the cshadow of ddeath, I will fear no eevil:
For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they fcomfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou aanointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely agoodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.



I read that every day while I was in Iraq.  Gave me strength to get through some very trying days.

We don't hate Jesus or God in the military you obtuse jackass...we lean on him heavily to get us through strife and uncertainty.
