Yesterday the Daily Caller<\/a> reported that the U. S. Army<\/a> is ordering a halt to all briefings classifying Christian groups as domestic hate groups. Yes, you read that right. The army needs a memorandum to stop teaching soldiers that Christians are a domestic terrorism threat. Good grief!\u00a0 A memorandum sent out by the Secretary of the Army<\/a>, John McHugh ordered all Army leaders \u201cto cease all briefings, command presentations, or training on the subject of extremist organizations and activities, pending promulgation\u201d of a uniform instruction and training program.<\/p>\n

As Fox News<\/a> notes, the Army\u2019s Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide highlights the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a>). Troops at Fort Hood<\/a> were recently advised that donations to evangelical Christian<\/a> groups or Tea Party groups could lead to penalties. Also, in May, Fox says, an Army Reserve<\/a> training memo called evangelical Christians and Catholics as religious extremists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The irony of this, of course, is that an SPLC law center map was used by Floyd Lee Corkins<\/a> to find the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., where his goal was to shoot as many people as possible. Thank God he was stopped by a security guard that he did shoot.<\/p>\n

The First Amendment<\/a> protects our religious freedom. Our military takes an oath to protect and defend our Constitution. Our training memos and lectures should reflect that oath.<\/p>\n
