No more Army Christian Chaplains to Iraq, Afgan, Philippines.

Cancel all Christian services for the soldiers.

If your faith is Christian..cancel all deployments to Combat zones.

C’mon you guys, calm down. Please. First, GEN Petreaus is a good guy. As a general, he is obliged to comment on issues like this that the media elevates to international matters. What else is he going to say? Think about it. Everything this guy says will get international press coverage, including the 1.4 billion or so islamic audience. He has to choose his words carefully, and he will always use the best words to keep his couple hundred thousand troops in the field safe.

When people attack him so easily, in my eyes, they put themselves in the same camp as those who call him “general betray-us”. For crying out loud – he’s in charge of the most significant war effort the globe has ever seen.

The troops have no problem with the inscriptions, and were mostly unaware of them until ABC made it a big deal.

Please, have faith in our troopers – they are in the field to protect us. Including their leaders.

As long as the enemy can scream ‘allah akbar’, I reckon our rifles can bear God’s word. There are tens of thousands of these things in the field and in the supply system. We’ll be seeing them for some time to come...

Personally, I’ll support Trijicon AND General P.

Kit!
