Jaw-jacking for Jesus

I can't tell you how angry it makes me when I read something like the following letter. It's an insult to courageous patriots like Charles Johnson, Jonah Goldberg, Ben Shapiro, and myself. We risk our bodies every day, fighting in Our Leader's holy crusade against the dark forces of Islam. The carpal tunnel syndrome, Twinkie induced weight gain, and Cheeto stained fingers we endure mean nothing to this man. He'd rather complain about the aggressive evangelism he's subjected to every minute he's not under fire.

From Stars and Stripes:

DFACs not for religion

There are many chapels on Camp Anaconda, Iraq, for religious services. When one wants to participate or hear religious jaw-jacking, that is where one goes.

There are also many dining facilities. When one is hungry and wants to get something to eat, this is where one goes. When religious services, Bible quoting and gospel singing are held during meal times in the DFACs, this amounts to disrespect for those of other religions and those of no religion.

In the wake of the recent Air Force Academy scandal concerning religious intolerance, one would think those who run the religious departments on Anaconda would reconsider pushing their religion on a captive audience, not only on those who are there just to get something to eat but also on those who work in the DFACS who are of a different faith or no faith at all.

Is it really too much to ask that the preaching and pushing of Christianity be held within the chapels, where those who wish it can seek it there and those who do not wish to hear it will not be held captive and forcibly subjected to Christian ritualism?

I donÂ?t go into the chapels to eat my breakfast, so the religiously inclined should show the same respect and not come into a dining facility to preach their religion.
