Cross removed at base in Afghanistan

"“We are here away from our families, and the chapel is the one place that feels like home,” a service member at Camp Marmal told POLITICO. “With the cross on the outside, it is a constant reminder for all of us that Jesus is here for us.”

“Not having it there is really upsetting,” added another. “I walk by the chapel daily on the way to chow and the gym, and seeing the cross is a daily reminder of my faith and what Jesus accomplished for me. It is daily inspiration and motivation for me to acknowledge my faith and stay on the right path.”"

  •   Little by little, any symbol of Christianity is being eroded and taken away. It's a liberal thing.

    • ACTUALLY it is a Muslim thing, and the messiah in the White House is leading the charge.

      • liberal or muslim, not much difference!!!.. liberals are for just about everything written in the koran, so that makes them muslims.

  • We can expect more of this because its against the muslim cult and thats what in the white house at this time...He is supporting the MB which we are standing up to now and we have to follow our oath we took while the white house does not..

  • Before everyone decides to bomb the place into the ground, let's get some perspective.

    I served in the USAF for over 20 years.  Most of this time was overseas in Muslim countries.  NEVER ONCE did a military chapel have a cross on the outside of the facility.

    This goes back long before our current engagements in the Gulf. It even goes back before Desert Storm.  It even goes back before PC was the law of the land. 

    Additionally, come to think of it, the Chapel in Japan or Korea did not have a cross on the outside as well.

    As for not using the Name of Jesus, the military reversed their decision on this issue as well.    My interview with Chaplin James Klingenschmidt (the Navy Chaplin who was removed from duty over this case) can be found here.
