There is nothing wrong with that sign.  I am proud of our troops with exception of some who try to make a big deal over things that shouldn’t matter.
I do know what I am talking about, we have to much going on to worry over the placement of a sign and if you are a marine major then you should know this.  This country was based on freedom of religion and you are trying to take that away

(name withheld), you have some difficulty, it appears, with comprehension.

You have pride in our troops except some who “make a big deal out of things that shouldn’t matter.” Who are you to determine what matters and what doesn’t? Does the law matter? Does our Constitution matter?

What the hell is it that you think our troops are fighting for if not the Constitution, the laws and the values of this nation?

You seem to think you know what you’re talking about, but you assert that your personal opinion has more credibility than a Marine officer who is there, knows his job and his rights and what best serves his troops.

You bleat about your fear that freedom of religion is being taken away when you clearly have no comprehension of what freedom of religion actually means.  What it means is that you and those whose minds are as closed as yours is do not have the right to insist your beliefs on those who do not share them. It means that the government is smart enough, and was formed with the intelligence of people smarter than you, to know that religion has no place in government and government has no place in religion. They are and must remain, for the benefit of both, separate.

Poor, fearful people whose faith is built on such fragile bases tend to rail and scream and shout about the danger they see in one of the most simple and beautiful planks the founders built into our nation’s principles. There’s nothing to fear from the separation of church and state. What’s to fear is the pigheadedness of people who want to shove their beliefs down the throat of others because they can’t stand the idea that if someone doesn’t buy into their own religious view it becomes possible that they are wrong.

Well, such it up. Learn to live with it. You’re wrong.

Mike Farrell
