Soul Hunters
In the video below — obtained, most unfortunately, by al Jazeera — evangelical Christian military personnel prepare to go to war for the souls of Muslims in Afghanistan.
Enjoy the video, fellow Americans. This is our military; this is our tax dollars; and this is God's work we are doing.
Our truth is marching on.
Given that the President is expanding the war in Afghanistan — having sent 17,000 more U.S. troops there and having escalated military strikes inside Pakistan, to name a couple of ways — our truth will continue to march on.
At the end of that road, of course, are the likes of Alexander the Great; the British; and, most recently, the Russians: their truths marched on, too. Right into the maw of failed conquest.
We'll find out soon enough.
Okay, maybe not soon enough, but we'll find out eventually.
Notwithstanding the mission of our evangelical Christian soldiers, some places aren't called "God forsaken" for nothing.

Memorial Day 2009
Our gen'rals command them to battle,
When our Presidents send them to war;
And the slain, they come home in silence:
Dead forever; alive nevermore.
Enjoy the holiday.
