5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you proud, February 8, 2007

This was such a refreshing look at the realities of life in the war zone know as Iraq. This is an unadultary look at the life of a Marine Chaplain and the fine men and women he serves in the hell know as Iraq. It was a great book to read as a pastor and even a better book to give to a young husband and father as he shipped out to serve our country in Iraq. Buy it Read it, before you believe the next story from the news media, about why we need to cut and run

No true Christian would be proud of war. Iraq is not hell; it's just a country, but war certainly is hell. You're really proud of the most evil thing in the human condition? Really? You "sir", are a hypocrite of the worst kind. Did this "Christian" chaplain advise the soldiers he met in Iraq to "turn the other cheek," or tell them that "what you do to the least of my brethen, you do unto me?" Jesus said those things, as I'm sure you are unaware of. There is not a case to be made for anyone who claims to be a disciple of Jesus to be anything but an extreme pacifist. We clumsely barreled into Iraq in such an anti-Christian and murderous way, that anyone who supported it will stand in front of their maker and have to answer for vocally supporting the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians who did no more wrong than any of the 3000 people killed in 9/11. The reality of war is not one of pride for fighting for your country. @ssholes since the beginning of time have gotten their d1cks hard over the concept of "fighting for their country." In reality, taking pride in killing another human being for political reasons (remember war is nothing more than an extension of politics, except in extreme cases such as WWII) is sick, un-Christian, and a product of stupidity and brainwashing. What would Jesus say to invading Iraq? Would he head the army, or would he take the road of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and every other peace loving person on the earth, whether they call themselves a Christian or not? I don't call myself a Christian, yet I'm pretty sure I'm more Christ like than you, or any other of the nut-jobs out there who think war is anything but the most evil thing you can take part in. There have been great advances in the realm of theology in relation to war and peace. Perhaps you should remove your "Christian" head from your "Christian" @ss and admit the blatant truth that Jesus was the biggest peace-nick in the history of western civilization. If Jesus were alive today, you would probably send him to the gas chambers.
