According to a report on Foxnews.com, by Todd Starnes, the US Army has defined the American Family Association, a well respected Christian ministry, as a domestic hate group because the group advocates for traditional family values.
In a briefing at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, several dozen active and reserve troops were told that the AFA is considered to be like the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Black Panthers, and the Nation of Islam. Even after being challenged several times by a chaplain, the presenter refused to change the position. Mr. Starnes says the Army has not responded to his calls about the presentation. In the past they have simply stated that it is not official policy.
The problem with being in the military is that you have to follow orders. I have witnessed first hand what happens when you don’t. Therefore, you now have a group of soldiers, regardless of what they believe, that will have to act accordingly.
Christians, true Christians, are the most peaceful people in the world. They have to be if they are going to follow the Christ. That is not to say that when it comes to standing up for right, if they are pushed far enough, they will fight.
Just try taking the last piece of chicken at a Baptist social supper.
