I wonder would an apology be enough for Christian Americans if the Middle East Military were to use a bible as target practice. I think not! Soldiers are trained to hate as taught by the Generals/Pentagon/White House. I can't tell you how many times I've had to talk our soldiers out of the hate their taught. I keep American Values in Peaches by preaching all the time she was away. Our soldiers are great but they have to be reminded that God created every human.
I spoke to Peaches who was in the Afghanistan and asked if she knew of any soldiers using the Quran as a target. She said hell no that's stupid and disrespectful and if a soldier did it he was on his own. She said soldiers respected the Afghanistan's and their culture only a few idiot soldiers act that way.
Don't worry you want hear that information on your Media report they get it from the Pentagon.

Yes, especially the Marines and Army-they talk about Iraqi's like dogs. What's most rude is when it comes from soldiers who haven't been deployed...
He's lucky he's not my kid-the general would be the least of his fears...
If people learned the truth about the connections between the Jews, Muslims, and Christians and the threads of common history all share, the world would be a much better place. Instead, people focus too much on the differences.
