Several thousand troops stationed in Saudi after Desert Storm reportedly "converted" to Mohameddanism while waiting to go home after the war. There was a "cultural center" of sorts set up by the Saudis and bored Americans would go there and the damage was done. Remember we couldn't have an Christian chaplains there at the time (correct me if I'm wrong on that)

That's where this POS got converted.

Don't forget that Timothy McVeigh was among them (it's never been proven that he converted, but he was certainly radicalized there).

I would really like to read more about this. Do you have any links or resources? I have personally met a handful of Desert Storm Vets who came home very confused about their religion, or identifying themselves as religious for the first time ever and "converting" to Islam of other cult religions, as well as trouble with their feelings toward America.

I wonder what happened to these guys?

BTW- Anyone looking to flame me, I am not saying all Desert Storm Vets returned this way, but I have meet a few and read about groups of them.
