Marines turn to God
06/11/2004 16:25  - (SA)  
Near Fallujah - With US forces massing outside Fallujah, 35 marines
swayed to Christian rock music and asked Jesus Christ to protect them
in what could be the biggest battle since American troops invaded Iraq
last year.
Men with buzzcuts and clad in their camouflage waved their hands in
the air, M-16 assault rifles beside them, and chanted heavy
metal-flavoured lyrics in praise of Christ late on Friday in a
yellow-brick chapel.
They counted among thousands of troops surrounding the city of
Fallujah, seeking solace as they awaited Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad
Allawi's decision on whether or not to invade Fallujah.
"You are the sovereign. You're name is holy. You are the pure spotless
lamb," a female voice cried out on the loudspeakers as the marines
clapped their hands and closed their eyes, reflecting on what lay
ahead for them.
The US military, with many soldiers coming from the conservative
American south and midwest, has deep Christian roots.
Comforting
In times that fighting looms, many soldiers draw on their evangelical
or born-again heritage to help them face the battle.
"It's always comforting. Church attendance is always up before the big
push," said first sergeant Miles Thatford.
"Sometimes, all you've got is God."
Between the service's electric guitar religious tunes, marines stepped
up on the chapel's small stage and recited a verse of scripture, meant
to fortify them for war.
One spoke of their Old Testament hero, a shepherd who would become
Israel's king, battling the Philistines 3 000 years ago.
"Thus David prevailed over the Philistines," the marine said, reading
from scripture, and the marines shouted back "Hoorah, King David,"
using their signature grunt of approval.
The marines drew parallels from the verse with their present
situation, where they perceive themselves as warriors fighting
barbaric men opposed to all that is good in the world.
"Victory belongs to the Lord," another young marine read.
Their chaplain, named Horne, told the worshippers they were stationed
outside Fallujah to bring the Iraqis "freedom from oppression, rape,
torture and murder ... We ask you God to bless us in that effort."
Holy oil
The marines then lined up and their chaplain blessed them with holy
oil to protect them.
"God's people would be anointed with oil," the chaplain said, as he
lightly dabbed oil on the marines' foreheads.
The crowd then followed him outside their small auditorium for a
baptism of about a half-dozen marines who had just found Christ.
The young men lined up and at least three of them stripped down to
their shorts.
The three laid down in a rubber dinghy filled with water and the
chaplain's assistant, navy corpsman Richard Vaughn, plunged their
heads beneath the surface.
Smiling, Vaughn baptised them "in the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit."
Dripping wet, corporal Keith Arguelles beamed after his baptism.
"I just wanted to make sure I did this before I headed into the
fight," he said on the military base not far from the city of
Fallujah.

 swayed to Christian rock music and asked Jesus Christ to protect them
Personalmente non ho mai capito perche' dio sul campo di battaglia 
dovrebbe proteggere uno piuttosto che l'altro, ma i soldati che hanno 
una fede - e spesso anche quelli che non l'hanno - prima di una 
battaglia assistono ai riti della loro religione. E' "pauroso" per te?

 battaglia assistono ai riti della loro religione. E' "pauroso" per te?
sembri sempre più decesari lo sai?

Cosa dire se non che queste affermazioni fatta da ufficiali di altissimo
grado sono fulgidi esempi della profonda degerazione culturale che stanno
vivendo gli stati uniti d'america. Questa non è retorica da battaglia come
dice qualcuno qua c'è la volontà di annientamento motivata ideologicamente
in maniera becera.
