This image is, well, scary.....

[The Straight Story]

Got this in an email today, wife of a soldier was asking people to send it out in honor of those going to Iraq:

[Missy M]

1. I have to agree...

scary and creepy.

[ixion]

3. indeed

some world, eh? :(

[TwilightGardener]

2. Gotta make the troops believe they're fulfilling God's will now--

make the Middle East wars seem more like a Christian crusade. There are enough young gullible kids who will believe this BS, and give their lives and limbs for it. Sad.

[ThomWV]

4. Retitle it "The American Crusader Prepares For Battle"

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Who is in the shadow?

I couldn't find the original starwars scene
but the angle and lighting reminded me of the one
where Vader knelt before the emperor

[ThomWV]

11. The boogie man, its always the boogie man in the shadows

[Ilsa]

18. "Crusader". Yeah, thatt's going to go over really well for them, isn't it?

Your choice of words was right on. Those poor soldiers.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Creepy

how some of the military equate religious devotion with going to war and killing people.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Gott Mit Uns

[PDJane]

7. Creepy, scary,

and totally outrageous.

[MADem]

8. I don't see anything that says "DOD" on that, to be fair.

Did some halfassed church drum that up so they could sell them at eight bucks each, or what?

[lapfog_1]

10. Onward Christian soldiers... marching as to war..

this would be a great recruiting poster... for Al Quiada.

[leveymg]

12. Gott Mittens

[shain from kane]

13. Could easily be "Be strong in Allah, and in Allah's mighty power." Koran, Book 23, chapter 6: verse

10.

This could be modified to recruit terrorist bombthrowers.

[shain from kane]

14. And the rewards ahead of you. Those 72 virgins. n/t

[AzDar]

15. Say! Anybody up for a new Children's Crusade?

Went so well the last time, too....:puke:

[TahitiNut]

16. God, standard issue, 1 each

"When the government thinks you need an opinion, we'll issue you one." "When the government thinks you need a God, we'll issue you one." (What every G.I. knows.)

:puke:

FM-666 - Bible, government approved, one each.

[ocd liberal]

17. As my mother would say:

Holy Christ on a bicycle!

[Kipper58]

19. These people also thought God was on their side:

I always thought God was on everyone's side - evidently not - "Gott mit uns" means "God is with us"
