The Raising Of a Christian Crusader Army


I have been saying for quite a while now that President Bush thinks of himself as a Christian Crusader. Even though he has and will continue to deny this most of us know it is true.

 He feels it is a God given right for him to straighten out every Muslim country he can. The problem with this Christian Crusader is that most of us do not feel the same way as him .

 Instead we are being dragged along and prepared for his ill fated ride. Back in august of last year our dropping numbers in the military especially the academies was a big issue.

There was a big issue in the air Force Academy particularly where cadets were being pressured to become Christian Fundamentalists Efforts and methods of persuasion were not subtle either.

This was not just occurring at the air force Academy but here and there throughout the military as a whole. In light of this Administration, their desires, their techniques, it seems a normal course to have this spread to the military.

With the larger role of Fundamentalists purposely allowed in our Government and in the operation of the country. With the increasingly public intervention of some fundamentalist leaders in our politics in an effort to sway the public you have to think?

 As we all experience, the plight of the lower classes are worsened almost daily. With the Presidents increased intervention in the middle East and the increased Christian influence in the government and the military.

It looks more and more like we are being groomed to become a Christian country but with a Christian Crusader army. Knowing that God told him to straighten out the Middle Easts problems, and in light of the Presidents ridiculous insistence on keeping an all volunteer fighting force.

 With the increased use domestically and around the world of our military, the increasing threatening of Iran with possible military action, coupled with the purposeful worsening of the home situation for young average Americans needed to fill the military ranks.

 It seems like a plan that the only alternative for proper employment for many will be to join President Bush's Christian Crusader Army. He is also hoping he gets the push he needs from the Religious extremists.

With that said now we are hearing what most of us have thought for years now and that is that our military is stretched to the breaking point. The retired Army Officer who wrote the report under a Pentagon contract concluded that the Army cannot sustain the current pace of troop deployments to Iraq long enough to break the insurgency.

And the president wants to stay the course indefinitely and threaten Iran with our military on top of all our other commitments and potential problems. What are these people thinking?

 We had a recruiting slump in 2005, missed our recruiting goal for the first time in years and this was only reversed by increasing pay, larger reenlistment bonuses, plus a number of other incentives, and also the raising of the maximum recruitment age once again.

 We are running out of any thoughts but one. With opportunities dwindling purposely for the lower classes you have to believe the worsening plight of the working sector is to fuel President Bush's Christian Crusader Army with Born again Christians and volunteers especially since he and Rumsfeld insists we need no draft.

How can that be?why did we need a professional study, Rumsfeld knows better than the generals again. Also Despite the obvious to the rest of the world today we have the ludicrous statement coming from Rumsfeld that our forces are better today after Iraq and Afghanistan not weaker as the normal person would believe. Just what is this guy on anyway?
