Superior Legal System Removes US Marine Giving out Christian Coins in Iraq

One way to say it:

 

"In a land where the primary religion teaches tolerance of other religions and ways of life, the superior legal system of the US Military removed a Marine who was handing out religious materials that may offend some of those who practice the religion of peace.

 

In a further display of altruism, Iraqis wishing to had out Islamic materials to US personnel remains unchecked."

 

 

Enjoy the discussion!

It's in violation of General Order #1 to distribute religious material while deployed in Iraq

I thought it was #2....

 

But you are right. A serious no no and they are going to crush that idiot for doing it.

 

(But I would love to have one of those coins!!!)

Seems fair. He's on active duty under orders and handing out religious material isn't part of his duties, so he shouldn't be doing it.

What religious material Iraqi civilians choose to hand out is up to them.

Very true!

 

He wants to do that crap, he should become a missionary.

Very true!

Agree, although I'm a christian (yes, a whoring, hypocritical one..haha)

 

Its difficult enough over there as well. His sharing of his faith may lead to his or other soldiers death. Its not fair or right but it is what it is.

 

I'd agree with the military. Its kinda crazy to do any thing like that considering where you are and how unpopular we are. Last thing I would want as a fellow soldier is somebody in my unit handing out christian stuff that may get the locals angry.

Where's your business sense, Marine? Get busy reproducing those coins and make a fortune selling them as "genuine" on the internet!
