Holy war! Game tests troops' rapture readiness

As If We Weren't Putting Our Brave Soldiers Through Enough (cont'd):The Defense Department at www .americasupportsyou.mil is endorsing an Iraq tour by Operation Straight Up to offer "faith-based entertainment" there.It does not mention that Operation Straight Up views its entertainment tours as a "holy crusade" to convert soldiers and Iraqis to fundamentalist Christianity.The entertainment includes the distribution of packets with religious tracts printed in both English and Arabic, along with a rapture video game, "Left Behind: Eternal Forces," in which the player is assigned to convert or kill the unbelievers left behind after the rapture.The game's virtual character shouts "Praise the Lord!" every time a nonbeliever is killed.The Bush administration knows what our soldiers in Iraq need -- additional holy wars.
