A polarizing peace of Propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2006)

"I only want Christians volunteers for this Raid, I do not want any atheist's participating !" (Colonel Mucci's speech to the batallion) This is so awful, and it reminds me how religion was misused by most war-conducting parties. German soldiers wore GOD IS WITH US on their belt fasteners during WW1 and WW2, just for an example. There is no mention in the book GHOST RAIDERS, that Colonel Mucci ever mentioned anything like that.Modern Soldiers in general, would mistrust any officer that would use phraeses like that to motivate them. Soldiers judge Officers by their conduct, and not by their speeches. It seems that Robert Murdock and Jerry Falwell made their media influence felt. A dangerous thing to do, in a democratic state. It has the affect of polarizing people of different cultures. Not every American soldier is a Christian, nor was he in WW2. So this speech is clearly an inflamatory implant, to discriminate against minorities. In Germany we did exactly that very same thing 65 years ago, motivating people in this fashion, and see what happened. Is our education system in America so bad, that we let filmmakers get away with such hate messages ?
