Onward Christian Soldiers.....

It seems that if you are in the military, you are now part of the
community, or at least they will try to make you part of the
community...

...even if you are Jewish...

I appreciate your posting that link, Alan; but now I'm hopping mad! It was bad enough learning the Air Force Academy had become a fundamentalist-Christian seminary — but now this?

Thankfully, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Portland Medical Center is free from such religionism — at least in my experience as both an inpatient and outpatient. I was visited by a chaplain during my few-days' stay there (emergency appendectomy) a couple of years ago, but he was a cordial fellow who only wanted to know how I was faring and whether or not there was anything he could help expedite for me.

These fundies have to go! People on the job who find time for acting out their religionist fixations at the expense of patients and other staff need to be introduced to the world of reprimands and terminations.
