Fort Jackson Army Post - Indoctrination Starts Here??

-Here is an article from the lefty PR Watch.

*What a bunch of garbage. I attended US Army Basic Training at Ft. Jackson and none of this nonsense comes close to anything I saw or heard when I was there. Or from soldiers I met later on in my career who were at Ft. Jackson as well.

For US Army soldiers entering basic training at Fort Jackson Army base in Columbia, South Carolina, accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior appears to be as much a part of the nine-week regimen as the vigorous physical and mental exercises the troops must endure," writes Jason Leopold.

"At a time when the United States is encouraging greater religious freedom in Muslim nations, soldiers on the battlefield have told disturbing stories of being force-fed fundamentalist Christianity by highly controversial, apocalyptic 'End Times' evangelists, who have infiltrated US military installations throughout the world with the blessing of high-level officials at the Pentagon.

Proselytizing among military personnel has been conducted openly, in violation of the basic tenets of the United States Constitution."

*We were asked at one point by a Drill Sergeant in a classroom what our religious preferences were. This was done for the reason of stamping what religion/if any onto our ID tags when they were made. We were never told to go to church. It was actually referred to as chapel because it was multi-demoninational. Not once did a preacher, evangelist, priest, rabbi, or imam for that matter ever approach a soldier in public when I was there.

And since no one was forced to go to chapel, where is this supposed 'evangelism' coming from? Any soldier who went to the chapel for Christian teachings got what they asked for, they were there because they wanted to be.

Every Sunday the Drill Sgt would ask who wants to go to chapel and the ones who wanted to go were loaded up and they went, regardless of their religion, and the proper respects were given to the soldiers of the different religions. At the time I had no real preference so I usually stayed behind at the barracks and caught up on sleep or cleaning up.

But, I did go twice and it was very respectful of everyone, and there sure as hell was no 'Christian indoctrination' going on. What utter bullshit. But, what else can you expect from the liberals in this country who ally themselves with Islamic radicals and apologists in their 'Unholy Alliance'.

The only indoctrination going on this country is happening in mosques and public schools/universities. But who better to attack than Christians and the 'evil' US military right? Yea, we're really the ones causing the problems in the world aren't we? Kidnapping people and cutting their heads off to post it on the internet in the name of what religion? Hmmmm.

It's not Christianity there's another one.

Oh, women being beaten, raped, and/or stoned in the name of what religion? Children being taught to hate and kill Jews in the name of what religion? Young girls being 'honor killed' for wanting to live free in a western society in the name of what religion? Hang on it's coming to me.

Armies formed with names like Hezbollah and Hamas where their troops really are being indoctrinated: all in the name of ISLAM.
