Officer in Baghdad Confirms Earlier Post, Provides New Evidence

By Ed Brayton

Last week I reprinted an email sent to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation by a West Point grad and active duty Army officer about his many experiences of having Christianity forced on him through mandatory prayers and his religious freedom violated repeatedly. On Monday, I received an email from another military officer currently serving in Iraq. He wrote:

I am another officer in our Christian military. I am currently serving in Baghdad and came across your post. I couldn't agree more with what was said. It's a sad state that I never expected when I signed up, and is one of the factors that has contributed to my decision to leave the military next May when my commitment runs out.
