Seymour Hersh sees conspiracies around every corner. His latest is that the command staff in Afghanistan is riddled with Christian zealots at war with Islam according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Hersh criticized the policies of the current and last administrations and accused the military leadership of being religious crusaders and members of the controversial Opus Dei and other groups. He specifically singled out those heading Joint Special Operations Command, a military organization ex-Afghanistan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal once led. <\/p>\n

“That’s the attitude,” Hersh said, according to Foreign Policy. “We’re gonna change mosques into cathedrals.” <\/p>\n

He said the military leaders carry “crusader coins” around with them. “They have insignia that reflect the whole notion that this is a culture war,” he said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Stars & Stripes<\/a> this morning, retired General Stan McCrystal denies those charges, but Hersh says he has proof…but you have to buy his book to see it;<\/p>\n

Hersh told Stars and Stripes he has proof to back up his claims but he declined to provide any because he is writing a book that will touch on the subject and revealing his evidence before the book is published would be \u201cunethical.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, unprofitable, too.<\/p>\n

The most hilarious charge that Hersh makes;<\/p>\n

…that it is impossible to be around special operations troops and not notice just how religious they are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, shrines have been built to honor the saints of Special Forces all along Bragg Boulevard in Fayetteville. The Rusty Nail, The Flaming Mug, The Backdoor.<\/p>\n
