Not the way it was done in the article no.  One shouldn't pimp his/her religion while wearing the uniform of the US military.  Off duty might be a different story.

Given what has taken place at the Air Force Academy over the last seven years, I am not surprised to see extremist Evangelicalism taking hold in other branches of service.  I'm sorry that it's happening, but hardly shocked.
You seem to be implying that the USAF is full of Fundies.  I've met a lot of AF dudes (I've worked as one or with them since 1994) and I haven't seen it.  There are a lot more drunks than there are Fundies.

Yeah, I know about that stuff.  I just didn't want it to look like the USAF or the military in general was full of Fundies.  It isn't.

How would you know?  Who else would be crazy enough to go into the military?
That's right, you'd know better than I.  Your preconceived notions trump my anecdotal evidence.

Oh, the outrage!  That free men may spread the good news in savage nations.  Cannot these brave soldiers be likened to the Mormon, who happily goes from house to house preaching the virtues of his holy book?  The outrage ought to be reserved not for the Christian soldier, but for the bleeding heart liberal who stands arm in arm with the Mohammedan.  For them to reject one of the founding principles of this nation - that men ought to have freedom of religion - not freedom from religion - is almost treachery.

If the Mohammedans will reject Christ, peace in the Middle East is but a dream, a chasing after the wind.

Yes, peace can come through Middle East only through the embrace of a religion of peace.  Now it is time for the people of Iraq to make a choiceFor Christ, or against him.
If you're going to rant and make yourself look foolish, at least show your Lord some respect and capitalize "him" when referenceing Him.

Agreed.  Christianity would be great if it wasn't full of Christians.
