Army briefing

Judging from one briefing at Fort Hood in Texas, the Army’s leaders consider evangelical Christians and Tea Party members greater threats to America than radical Muslims.

Soldiers at a pre-deployment briefing on Oct. 17 were told for nearly half an hour how pro-family groups and evangelical Christians were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to them would be punished under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Fox News reported. Hardly a word was spoken about radical Islam.

Meanwhile, following a series of such incidents – including one at Camp Shelby in Mississippi — the Secretary of the Army has ordered the briefings to halt.

Todd Starnes, host of Fox News & Commentary, wrote in an op-ed that a soldier who spoke to him about the briefing fears reprisals and wishes to remain anonymous.

“My first concern was if I was going to be in trouble going to church,” the soldier, an evangelical Christian who attended the briefing, told Starnes. “Can I tithe? Can I donate to Christian charities? What if I donate to a politician who is a part of the Tea Party movement?”

Michael Berry, a former Marine Corps Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer and attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has begun investigating the incident.
