I think I'm gonna be sick.
Not because of my distaste for religion, but whenever I see the Constitution being violated... It's like a parasite of dread clings itself to my subconscious, biting and injecting me with its venom of dread and disgust, and I just can't quite seem to shake it off.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
The Constitution of the United States of America is the greatest document ever written in the history of the world. It alone guaranteed rights and privileges to its citizens that no other country could. I like to think of it as an insurance policy, if you will, one that says, "I'll give you all of these rights, if you're willing to go to any means to defend them."
If you can't protect or abide by the Constitution, then I'm sorry, but you don't deserve those rights.
Frankly, I feel like walking up to whoever is in charge of this and slapping them across the face with the Constitution.
For the love of Zenithar people, how hard is it to ******** understand, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."? It's real simple: Don't do anything encouraging or discouraging religion.
Besides, for the people laying down their lives for the country (despite doing so for a false cause, Zeus bless 'em), they deserve better than "Left Behind: Eternal Forces". Send them Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, an Elder Scrolls game, but at least give them quality stuff. And throw in a couple hi-def televisions and high-tech computers, while you're at it. At least give them a half-decent stress-relief tool.
Not to mention this is going to burned-out, stressed people fighting back a panic attack after a long day of life threatening duties. This isn't exactly a good way to remind them the world is an okay place, let alone how to respect your fellow man. A fine example of brainwashing at its best.
I say again, I think I'm gonna be sick.

Well, as the great R. Lee Ermey once said, "God has a hard-on for Marines".
But to be honest, I don't think the solution to all the hardships our boys and girls overseas are facing is going to ultimately be religion. They're probably bored as hell when they're not on duty, and worried about how much cover they have when they're on duty. The solution, it seems to me, would be best manifested as mass shipments of Xbox 360s, copies of Gears of War and Oblivion, and finally, some BODY ARMOR. I think in the end, morale and protection are gonna be more valuable to a soldier than a poorly-made video game.
