Spiritual Fitness “not meant to endorse religion” VS Army’s own videos
These videos may just disappear soon. Grab them while they’re hot! They’re from the Army’s public facing media outreach website. Remember, whenever lawyers and reporters are around, the term ‘spiritual fitness’ has nothing to do with religion. It’s about ‘team spirit‘ and ‘human spirit’.

Pastor Bryan Griem belittles more US soldiers

Reverend: “What does the military put on gravestones of atheists, a thumbs-down?”
The recent article about mandatory Spiritual Fitness in the Pasadena Sun was overall quite positive. Out of a group of 10 or so religious leaders from various religious preferences, the vast majority were on our side. I’m actually happy that only a few took a stand against us.
