from military.com: The warriors pose for the camera in a group shot - some holding their weapons in one hand and their holy book in another.Elsewhere, a poster bears a quotation calling for the killing of enemy leaders and forcing the defeated people to convert.
If you think the images come from Islamic fundamentalist training camps in remote regions of the Middle East you'd be wrong.
The photo depicts Army trainees at Fort Jackson, S.C., where in addition to basic combat training recruits may also attend "God's Basic Training," while the poster -- boasting a quotation from conservative author Anne Coulter -- adorns the door of a Military Police office at Fort Riley, Kansas.
"These are startling and disgusting revelations of further unconstitutional behavior by technologically the most lethal organization ever created by humankind -- the U.S. military," said Mikey Weinstein, whose group, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, discovered the evangelical-oriented program at Fort Jackson and the Coulter poster at Fort Riley.

My parents are the ones being attacked here by people who have no idea what they are talking about. My parents are not fundamentalists, they are Presbyterians (PCA). They soldiers have to carry their guns everywhere. My parents did not ask them to pose with the guns. Get your story straight first.
