I think that alot of the posters here have lost sight of the original statement at hand, and the context thereof. First, the General was stating his OWN beliefs, those beliefs which any military man or woman has to keep to keep from seeing themselves as murderers (unless they are already sociopaths, which we don't need or want) He was addressing a group of christians, with whom he was in agreement in belief (oh yeah remember the Constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Religeon, or is that only for people who wont use it???) If there IS a guarantee of Freedom of religeon, and we don't want a total sociopath running a large segment of our military force, Why do we insist on pillorying a man who has the sand to profess his beliefs? Yes, many things have been done by proponants of ALL religeons which are at loggerheads with the teachings of the founders of those faiths. This is the problem with taking an attempt to idealize humanity and putting it into a less than ideal society, ANY society. So next time you think someone should be fired for holding certain religeous beliefs, Be ready for two things First, be ready to put YOUR ass on the wall where his was, and Second, be ready to have YOUR job taken away because some hothead doesn't agree with YOU, or thinks YOU voted wrong, or thinks YOU read the wrong kinds of books, or hang out with the wrong type of people, because if the freedom of religeon is made worthless, then all the other guarantees made in the Bill of Rights are just as worthless!
