re: Army General’s Christian Views
As I understand it, he said these things in a church. As for the uniform, I don't know what standard practices are, but a uniform is what my brother wore to church when he was on duty. The military equivalent of the suit and tie.
I think it's a stretch to conclude that what he said under these circumstances reflects any official government policy.
And of course, to many people nowadays, simply having religious beliefs is enough to label one a freak.
Maybe it's not a religious war from our end, but it sure as hell is from the view of the radical Islamists.
