Army Threatens Soldiers If They Donate To Tea Party, Christian Groups

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.
