Dumbest, most fear mongerin post you've ever made, and that's coming from a guy who believes the gods look at humanity as a plague/food source.

Now, I may be accused of being a bigot, but my peronal experiences with the Southern Baptist make my radar go up whenever they are involved in anything, especially the military.
The are exclusionists. The feel their way to practice Christianity is the only way and they have very little or no tolerance for other religions. They call Catholics, idol worshippers.
In the 1980 there was a strong desire for ecumenism. I was on a council here in Anchorage, when we approached the local chapter of the SBC they refused. They did not want to do Bible studies or have services with the Catholics, Jews, Lutherns, ect.
I feel they are just too radical.
I do not feel they would promote tolernce between Muslim and Christian soldiers.
I believe the army should have services and chaplains available to soldiers, but I do not feel that your commanding officer should be evangelizing to his troops.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Yeah, I got some exert publications from the group in question. It was fine, and most likely comforting to believers.

I grew up a southern babtist, and I can tell you that there will never be enough prisons in their minds.
They would trade liberty for security in a heartbeat.
A Godless bunch of people for sure, but I've noticed that most religious people are like that to some degree.
Man knows no master save creating heaven,
or those whom choice and common good ordain.
