Perhaps Muslim-Themed Ethics Training Next (Updated)

This from truthout.com, my favorite website for socialist cum communist news and commentary.

Air Force Pulls Christian-Themed Ethics Training for Nuclear Missile Officers After Publication of Truthout Report
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "The Air Force, in response to a report published by Truthout earlier this week, has pulled a Christian-themed training session that used a quote from an ex-Nazi SS officer and numerous passages from the New and Old Testament to teach missile officers about the morals and ethics of launching nuclear weapons… David Smith, chief of public affairs of Air Education and Training Command at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas… said the ethics training has been in place for '20-plus years' and the decision to remove it was made on Wednesday after Truthout's report was published."
Read the Article

It is always entertaining to see the attempt to develop and ground our morals and ethics within an oblivion-based theology like secular humanism. They never answer why should humans not behave and develop exactly within the rules of, and in harmony with ‘nature’? Everything else does.

Why not then embrace Darwinian ethics to the fullest. If not, we know there is at least one active religion that practices Darwinian theological evolution for those still insisting that man is transcendent. Would it make us more comfortable to know that the fingers on our nuclear trigger have the ethical training in which Islam's selfless martyrs are immersed? Maybe we'll let Iran teach us what that is like.

[update] A little more perspective never hurts. Inroads of Islam in American thought in this YouTube video.

Oh and Paul, after I retired from the BOS in 1992, I did create CABPRO and became the Chairman of the NCRCC as well as running for Assessor in 1998. After I was defeated I ran CABPRO for a few more years and gave it over to others. During 1995-98, I had a KNCO radio program called Republican Policy Friday and in 1996 I started a TV program on NCTV about politics to inform people about the Propositions on the ballot and then current events.. So, I guess you are simply wrong. Oh, and I worked for about a year for Assemblyman Richter putting a bill together to save the taxpayers about 5 billion bucks. It was defeated by Willie Brown. So, give us your resume’ won’t you? Oh and yes I get a small PERS check when I turned 55. I put my money into the pot. All during this time I raised a family and kept away from booze and babes. LOL. Anyway, I can see what you are doing here and you should be ashamed of yourself. Tell us how you are doing, you sound very troubled.

Crabb, you crack me up. I haven’t name called here I was simply responding to the slander against Christians by the left. You really are bored I guess.

I have just reviewed all my comments on this thread post. I did not call any liberal/progressive/indie a name on a personal basis. I think you have misread my words. You have called me many things here in a very personal way. So, I think I have hit a nerve on the discussion about the left trashing Christians and supporting Islamic extremism.

Calling local people violent psychopaths isn’t name calling ?
I don’t claim to have a political career. Mostly I’ve played music, produced concerts, ran the Center for the Arts and worked at KVMR. That’s about it.
I don’t consider working for partisan causes a political career. I could care less about your drinking habits or babe count and I don’t think anyone else does either.

Todd, the theme of the original article by GeorgeR was religious in nature and involved the military, hence my “crusade” reference. Maybe I took “the bait” where he calls truthout.org a socialist/communist news organization (I have never seen it before), and infers that if we don’t have Biblical based military manuals we are in danger of Muslim indoctrinated crusaders who will have no problem launching nukes.
BTW – I said religious, not Christian, crusaders. And, no, I don’t think we need Biblical (or any other religious based text) passages in our military manuals because it is just plain wierd. It’s the military, not Sunday school.

I think George was talking about values. It would seem a value based on life, love of others and the importance of life is more valuable in the person with the “nuclear button” than someone who thinks pushing the button willy nilly will give them martyr status and 72 virgins. That is what I read form his post.

If you want the folks with their “fingers on the button” to have “a value based on life, love of others and the importance of life” then you should give that job to some Buddists.

I am talking about values and mores. The most effective military forces in history have always been those fighting under some banner above and beyond the secular humanist kind. Troops have always faced death much better when oblivion is not their reward for courage.
(Most forms Buddhism recoil at the very thought of purposive taking of life.)

No, the sock puppet Sinclair Lewis is the greatest threat. George served in the military and I think SL was a Canadian bacon. This is always the result of a liberal feeling guilty about life. We all know when a leftwingnut sock puppet attacks that we have won the day.
