Bobo sends us a link to the story of Chaplain John McDougall, who just returned from a deployment to Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment. According to USAToday<\/a>, he wrote a book entitled “Jesus was an Airborne Ranger”, that, of course, was taken from the old cadence call that began with that line. He wrote the book because “the Jesus of many churches is a weakling \u2014 someone our Rangers cannot relate to.”<\/p>\n

So, he wrote about the warrior Jesus, but he made a mistake and appeared in a promotional video for the book while wearing his uniform. That video has since been removed from the web, but that doesn’t satisfy the militant anti-Christ voices;<\/p>\n

McDougall should face court martial for promoting his book in uniform, said Mikey Weinstein, who leads the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a watchdog group. Beyond violating military regulations, the video is a propaganda coup for Islamic State militants and other religious zealots, he said.<\/p>\n

ISIS will use the video to convince followers that the United States is waging a Christian war against Muslims, he said.<\/p>\n

“This is propaganda of unparalleled proportions for ISIS,” Weinstein said. “This message is going to kill Americans and kill innocents.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mikey Weinstein and his little band of donors don’t want religious freedom, they want the military to be absolutely Christ-free. I’m curious about which sins Mikey has committed that he doesn’t want to be judged by Christian standards. Chaplain McDougall cleared his book with the Army, but not the video, and, yes he made a mistake. But a court martial? Really? <\/p>\n

If Mikey was really about religious freedom, he’d be defending the chaplain for expressing his views in the book – that’s actual religious freedom. A book about Christ isn’t going to kill US troops – ISIS and al Qaeda will and they really don’t need a book as an excuse. If you haven’t noticed, Mikey, Christians were already being murdered gruesomely before the chaplain wrote the first word of his book just because their prophet wasn’t Muhammad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
